    I put a set from WoodCraft on my buke. All I had to do was remove the engine bolt and replace it with the slider setup. Real quick for a noob like I was back then.

    i've had no-cut sliders fail on me twice. they're not very reliable in a crash, so you may want to consider the cut type of sliders

    Get Woodcraft sliders which you'll have to cut if you have the full fairing.

    I use Intuitive on both my SVs. i have the one with the long bolt on one and the 2 short bolts on the other (staggered) neither has let me down yet. i recommend the long bolt version for strength but the staggered works well also.
    the way the SV was designed any slider you put on the stock set up would be no cut but since you put lowers on youre pretty much gonna have to cut if you want any real protection

    If you're dead set on no-cut, I can't help ya...
    If ya want proper protection, Woodcraft IMO.

    I dunno how those Shogun's are no-cut with lower fairings. That's right where my Woodcrafts mount and they weren't no-cut.

    I am on my third pair of motosliders ...

    Work as advertised and you can get individual parts.

    If loud pipes save lives, imagine what learning to ride would do.

    The motosliders are the goto slider for an SV.

    From experience with no cuts on a full faired SV...DO NOT BOTHER! Do they look pretty? Yep. Do they do anything in even a minor low speed slide/crash? NO! The brackets fail as there is simply too much force. You will bend the stock brackets just tipping the bike in the parking lot. Just cut the fairings and enjoy the fact that you won't be replacing the entire bike when/if you go down.

    I have been on/around sv's for 6 years and no cuts DO NOT work.

    IMHO get a good set and if you drill the fairing properly it will looks great.
