Marko Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Guys. I have in my 99 XX frame sliders that have been drilled through the fairing. I would prefer not to make holes to my 03 XX and therefore I'll ask your help. Does anyone have any idea where I could find sliders that don't require body modification ? All of them that I found so far, require body modification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Never seen any. The sliders that fasten on the frame lug that supports the side fairing panel don't really count as sliders...they're not strong enough to do anything but decrease the damage in a zero mph tipover.

CxBXR Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Fairning bolt mount sliders are a waste of money, unless you have a zero mph tip over. I purchased a set & after recieving them sold them. The 8mm bolt is surely to break on a lowside thus doing nothing for protection & leaving a broke bolt to deal with later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborneXX Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 From what I've seen of the fairing bolt sliders they do more harm than good in anything more than a tip over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooplehead Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 My peg lowering brackets didn't fold like they should've when mine tipped. So, I got a bent peg feeler and a shit load less fairing damage. +1 on the lwr brackets/sliders haha! I too would like to know of any decent sliders. I am more than willing to cut holes.

ironmike Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Gotta agree with the rest of the guys... I've done considerable research on the topic recently. Fairing mounted sliders really aren't sliders at all - they're tip-over insurance. The best true sliders for the XX that I've found, that are currently available, are from Motovation Accessories http://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/Scrip...asp?idproduct=8 They're about $80+ (US) with shipping. I have a set of the fairing mounted "mushrooms" (new) as sold by Jaws, and a set of Motovation sliders (new)... I never got around to installing either, and now I think I've changed my mind. If you're interested in either, PM me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John01XX Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 IMHO....... The best are the R&G Sliders yes they require holes to be driled in the plastics They are what I have on my Bird. I also sell the Jaws Shrooms and if you ever have a tip-over you will wish you had some Shrooms ! The R&G are the best but also the most expensive at $130.00 delivered direct from R&G.

GadgetXX Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I like the LSL sliders, for about the same proce as the R&G's. If you search, there have been several threads on how to position and drill the holes. when I installed mine, I drilled the hole smaller than was recommended, and they turned out great.

Marko Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 Thanks guys for all feedback. Guess I have to go with drilling holes to my fairing, just to be safe. I don't want to get into situation where somebody else drops my bike and fairings get all fucked up. Better to be safe than sorry...like they say.
