exactly what it looks like. that would make me worried it would damage the frame even in a drop. who knows how it attaches. My 600rr attaches to the engine mounts, just up higher to protect the frame and bodywork. Someone soon should be making them for the F...

Those sliders look too low on the bike.  It looks like they would tip the bike onto the tank/plastics causing more damage than just sliding on the pegs/engine case/bar ends

They're just fairing "protectors". They're only mounted to the bolts holding up the plastic. They aren't strong enough to stay on during a slide, only if the bike is just tipped over.
