def looks nicer and cleaner than crash guards except who knows howd theyd hold up in an actual crash.

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

Ehh... like most people have said.. those sliders are more for the event of a low speed drop. They'll protect  your fairings, keep you from getting scratches everywhere, and that's just about it. They're a compromise between looks and protection. If you want maximum protection, you have to bite the bullet, remove the fairings, and add case guards. They're the maximum amount of protection you can have. So you gotta decide which you want. Better looks, or more protection. I'm willing to bet that I know which way you'll go.

Negative. They won't protect your fairings because they were never intended to be run with fairings. To run these on an F you would have to cut holes in your fairings. And judging from the length of these, they aren't long enough to stick past the fairing. But go ahead and try,Nick......

The crash bungs go streight into the engine bolts on these. Unlikey they would bend in an accident on impact of a slide, however if you were to high side and land on the bung they would probably bend. Crash bungs for bikes with fairings most of the time won't save your fairing in my personal experience. They usually stop them from cracking but don't stop em scratching.

That is where i have my home made frams sliders located. they have been very helpful in preventing scratches from low speed or stoped drops but i have no idea how they will preform in high speed crash.

Dude, no offense but hwo in the world do those roller skate wheels on sticks look better than this?

Thanx to Alpha's Bike for being the model.

And I really really doubt that they'd be anywhere near as good......

[annguyen1981]

I do believe that you'd have to sut the fairings so they stick out.  But of course, like someone pointed out...

Putting them on the engine mount won't help.  Might cause MORE problems if dropped

Nicky is a bling bling man. And fairings = bling bling. And since you can't have fairings AND case guards. Nicky is keeping the fairings.

BLING BLING!!!!!!

you wouldnt understand unless you lived in miami

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

you wouldnt understand unless you lived in miami

Ok.. not to be a duck.. but THAT is a bullshit response.

I think it's more appropriate to say

"You wouldn't understand unless you were a hormonal teenage male"

or

"You wouldn't understand unless you were a young male"

or

"You wouldn't understand unless you felt a burning need to be 'cool' "

or

"You wouldn't understand unless you felt the need to be showy"

or any number of other sentences. The "need" to be "cool" or "bling bling" does not come from the location. It comes from within the rider. How's THAT for a deep thought?

location matters a lot, u dont see to many bling out bikes in the middle of the hilibily towns.

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

Location doesn't mean shaZam!. It all comes down to you. You see bling bikes. You feel the need to be accepted. We all feel it. Many of us give in to it.

But again, I say: Location don't mean shaZam!. I live in Atlanta. ATLANTA. Where the players play (or some such bullshit as that, I don't listen to (c)rap music.)

Do you see me riding on dubs, or spinners, or blasting rap, or riding a stretched, chromed busa, 2up without gear, etc?

No. I bought a used, functional,(to me) aesthetically pleasing naked GS500. Because I care about what I think, and I don't give a flying f%$k about what other people think. The GS works for me. I think it's beautiful. Sure, some won't like it, cuz it's not flashy enough. Know what? Fuggem. Most people who will rip on me/you/anyone for having a "small" 500cc bike don't have a bike! First (and only guy) so far who tried to give me shaZam! was out with his girlfriend, asked me what I was riding (he saw my gear). I told him a gs500. He said "Oh, just a little five hundred, huh? When you moving up to a real bike?" (Trying to appear cool in front of his (rather attractive) girlfriend) I said "Oh, whenever I'm ready. How long have you been riding, and how big is YOUR bike?".. He got a little uncomfortable, replied "Oh, uh, I've never ridden, I don't have a bike.. but I'm gonna get at least a 600, maybe a 750, cuz I hear you get bored with those 600s quick".. Then he STFU and walked away, cuz he knew he was a tard.

Moral of the story: Do what you like. Bling your bike to the gills. But don't blame it on your location. You do what you do because that's what you want to do, not because of where you live.

Nick, its obvious that you've never been outside of Miami. But there are plenty of areas in every state and town that have the bling clique(so to speak). Guys that cant really ride but dress there bike up in some of the most outlandish ways possible.
I myself can't speak much on the subject because im sure some of the track guys wouldnt approve of some of my plans but its my bike
