Recommendations on Frame Sliders?

[jcombs]

I looked at frame sliders on Ebay.. there's thousands.
Any recommendations? Some better than others?
Are they easy to install?

Woodcfaft sliders for their design, bolt on side and replaceable pucks. Already saved my **** ina 30mph lowside.

I am still trying to toss around the idea myself of getting them, and which ones to get. Previous FZ6 I had ended up with a fubar frame due to the frame sliders. They were a type that had a metal base, and a replaceable delrin slider that attached to the metal part. On the other hand, without frame sliders, you can end up with more overall damage. Was thinking maybe the Givi engine cage thing, but that's pricey too.

I have motovation sliders. Yamaha FZ6 600 Fazer Frame Sliders 04+ They've treated me well in all my parking lot drops. The axle sliders are kind of pointless once the frame sliders are installed though. With those sliders, if the swingarm touches the ground, scratches on the rear swingarm are the least of your concerns.

I got the T-Rex Racing sliders. They have an Ebay store, so you don't have to buy through their website. Fortunately I haven't had to test them yet...

I went with the extended OES model Yamaha FZ6 Frame Sliders

Here's how they saved my bike: http://www.600riders.com/forum/hall-shame/41258-new-frame-sliders-tested.html

Good luck!

Hope Im not changing the topic here to much. But Ive seen the Givi sliders, they are nice... I bought a cheap set of shogun sliders. Anybody, If you were still open for options would it be worth returning the shogun sliders for the Givi engine bars? Does any body know if the Givi bars would fit over Oem chin guard on a S2? Kind of hoping to protect my investment.

derlin wears down quick so in a big crash dont expect them to work too good ,
i bought some d2 moto for backup they were like 15 bucks a pair and the derlin looks so fragile i doubt i will ever put them on .
i have lighting performance sliders on my fz and they work well

I have Woodcraft. I got them after a lot of research.

So far, so good

Looks like the Woodcraft require some cutting.
I don't do cutting.
I better find some that don't require any cutting.

I wouldn't go with any of the cheap eBay ones. Just seems like way too much of a risk. Cheap levers and the like are one thing, but sliders don't seem like something you should be cheap on

I used to have Uncaged Cycels sliders and they did a great job when I went down a few years ago. Sadly, they are out of business. I am now using some Fs6 sliders, but I don't feel as confident in them (they spin a bit even when torqued correctly and locktited, also the bolts seems bit short on the threads). So I put back on the undamaged Uncaged on one side and searching as well. OES sliders look decent and affordable.
BTW, on my crash the slider did a great job, but my rear axel did make contact as well. The threads on the left side were ground a bit. I can still remove the nut etc, but I can see how an axel slider can be helpful.

+1 to the OES sliders. Luckily I haven't had the pleasure of testing them out yet, but I read good things about them. They have a small logo sticker around them that comes in a few different colors just to mix it up and match your bike.

Huge fan of my Givi engine guards. I feel much more confidant than I did with my Shogun sliders.

Can anyone who uses the Woodcraft frame sliders describe what exactly needs to be cut to make these work. I'm interested in them but I am wondering what they mean by this.

I've been looking at sliders too.The OES sliders come in different sizes for the FZ's. What are the pros and cons of a bigger diameter or the extended slider ? Also cosmetically what looks better on a blue 05 with the silver frame white or black ?

I wanna know what needs to be cut too since our bikes do not have fairings there

The R&G's have worked well for me..

Yamaha Fazer 600 2004 onwards and FZ6 2004 onwards Crash Protectors CP0110BL

I found this review of the extended OES sliders.
