No frame sliders on the F because the fairing bolts to brackets that are bolted onto the frame. There is too much space between the fairings and the frame for frame sliders to work. Case guards work on the E models and protect the engine casings. The frame is fairly safe from most scratches and stuff anyways.

They work in theory.

ohh i dont mean crashing aj. i just wanted to know if they worked in theory?

Then u've answered your own question, why did u ask it???

no i just wanted to make sure they workd and werent just bling. and were do they get atached?

Well see Alpha's post.  They prob are just bling.  I highly doubt they would actually function well in a crash.  Which brings me back to my first post.

AJ, sitt boo boo, sit, HEAL!!!!


Sorry Nick, see's outta control we'll probably have to put her down!

lol, i think u need the strong stuff. miabe some vikiding

Do you know where I can score some vikiding?  I've just been using this crappy vicodin stuff...

f%$k off im on 3 hours of sleep

god dnam garmamar Nzais  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have found two places that sell frame sliders that are compatible with a GS500F.  One has no details, the other seems to require drilling.

Actually frame sliders do their job quite well. They protect the frame and a few other bits from getting messed up. Find Pablo's crash thread and take a look at the pictures of his bike. It'd have been a lot worse without the frame sliders.

then shhould i go with those 46 pound sliders, or would nay work?

Those are the only ones that are going to work. You are going to have to drill a hole in your fairing though.
