Title: Frame sliders to fit a 2001 GS?
Post by: Teek on July 11, 2011, 12:15:37 PM
Is there anything out there other than the ones from RG Racing available? These look kinda humongous, which I suppose is the point, and also they would look smaller if there was a fairing on..

I recommend the crash guards over frame sliders - you're much less likely to damage the engine mount or flip the bike in the event of a crash. On the right side of the bike, Buddha's engine cover works very well.

I have case guards on it already, I need to take them off to put on the chin spoiler/belly pan...   :dunno_black:   any ideas?

Don't crash?

Personally, I don't like running sliders, but those should work okay, I guess.
