Sliders or Guard???/

[Earth Brown]

I have seen a 4 slider setup, one on either side in ft of the motor.  and another pair under the motor....

Then there is the case guards that go from ft to under....


Which protects better??  Or both about equal just a preference on the looks?

That's harder than Dino vs. synthetic, faired vs. unfaired, and chain vs. shaft!  

Maybe look at it like this...

Wanna look a little bit old school?  Go bars.  Wanna look more modern, more current/hip?  Go sliders.

I eventully went with sliders just because a nice set showed up on eBay for about half the price they should have been.

Either is likely as good as the other.  That's my guess.

faired vs. unfaired,

My first bike with a faring, dont care either way...

 and chain vs. shaft!  

Chain loses less power and Shaft is usually less maintnance

Probably the same here, we will see what I find.... seems like $150 for bars, and around $100 for 2 sets of sliders...


Thanks

one more question.....

Do the plastic sliders seem to hold up to the heat near the exhaust???

I just put on NRC case covers on,bar end sliders and a pair of pit stand bobbins on the swing arm.  It worked pretty good, I tested it out the summer befor last. I did about a 90mph low side in trn 4 @ Nelson Ledges.NRC cover did the job of not griding through. slid on the bar end,back bobbin,and have a couple of flat spots on the plastic front&side.

I'm always up for trying another track. Now I have a SV1000 to choose from too,theres a few SV1000 riders from the Toronto (and Ontario in general) that have track days somewhere. I don't remember , maybe its the same place.
  I used to race in Batavia every Fri. night. I used to flat track a Bultaco at the fairgrounds. (long time ago)I'm that way every now and then,we do (tile) work for Mulvey Const. out of Lockport.
 Also have a friend around Madina,not too far away.
