Frame Sliders

[xcellent1]

Alright, for the second time I am replacing some pieces on my bike due to dropping it (minor damage, occured over a month ago) . I want to install some frame sliders to protect as much of this as possible. I have been told that Vortex is the way to go but I called Vortex and the indicated they do not make a slider to fit a Kawasaki Z750s. So is everyone's second recommendation?

Shogun. I have them on my bike.....few other here use them also. If they make one for your bike.....check with Cycle Gear on Hurstbourne Ln. before ordering online or something.

+1 on the Shogun kit...... Cozye has some great deals on them. Hit http://www.superbikestore.net/ to get our discount on them.....

Sorry guys, no way on Shogun. Terrible quality, don't hold up, and if you buy them with brackets, you've got a great chance the brackets will vibrate causing the spool to shake off...eventually falling out of the bracket. All the sudden-no frame slider!

Here are a few links to some discussions...(I'm sure you could find a lot of this info just by googling it if you want to)

Obviously, this is hardly conclusive proof. But I can speak from personal experience. I lost my left side shogun frame slider after having it on for 3 months. I changed it out with woodcraft, and it's been damn near 2 years and counting now. Bottom line, stay away from Shogun!!!

I would say Shogun but I have had a set on order for 4 months now, you might have a hard time getting something from them.

The no cut sliders are junk, but Ive got 2 drops on Shoguns and still have them on..... Never had any issues with them.....

I got ones for my bike, saved my butt twice... I got mine from Commonwealth when I bought my bike in 2005 from Commonwealth.

Motovation is pretty good stuff too.

There is a such thing as Loctite (the blue....NOT the red)
