Frame sliders

[greenmonster]

No biggie. I installed Pro-Tec on the 900RR. Annalisa dropped it form a standstill and not one bit of damage to the plastic. Just a little nick out of the slider and the right-side mirror folded in with a little scratch to the outside plastic.

Can't find any apps for my '97 ZX900R. Too old. Now, if it were a '98 or newer...no prob. Shyt!

I run Intuitive frame sliders on both my svs and they work flawlessly.

I've had them on for years. my last bike I flipped and bounced off the pavement. one of the hits was directly on the frame slider. put a couple little dings in it. took it off and put it on my current bike and it took most of the damage along with my rearsets in a high side that was kinda of like a low side for the bike. they don't stick out very far with the stock bodywork but with thinner track bodywork they're plenty far.

I worry about longer frame slider wanting to bend/break the bolts.

Harris makes some quality sliders...and they have the endurance background to back up the name.

wow I really like the rubber gromets

Not to thread jack....but how are the GSG non cut sliders for the d675?

I have a set of woodcrafts, brand new in the box, but I can't get myself to cut into such a beautiful bike. The GSG seem to have a good system avoiding l-brackets and are not cheap (over 200 bucks)

Jackie,

Talk to Peter Kates about frame sliders. While the Motosliders may seem to be good and protect the radiator, they're long.

A longer slider may not be a good thing, as they may cause more damage than they prevent.

(I think PK may know a thing or two about frames and damage.)

Thanks for the link, Jackie!
It appears to be Brit application only, tho. I watched the install vid for my bike, but it applies to models that seem to be Euro versions. Mine is a ZX900R B4, a US model. The list on their site has no B4 listed. Plus, the vid says to remove the coolant bottle on the left....mine is on the right, etc. The 1998 Ninja marked a new model design and most sites will carry the kits from 98 on...mine's a 97. Looks like the market just isn't there for 97's.

right...might help you in a drop or a low speed fall but the longer they are the easier they can snap...and correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe longer ones could also cause the bike to flip if they stayed intact in a lowside...plus engine mounts can get damaged
