Does anyone know where to purchase crash posts for 04 hayabusa. The type that will fit straight on without having to cut holes?

You don't want to use the bolt on kind they won't hold up in anything more than a tip over. Go w/ vortex frame sliders they'll be your best option. I'ts not as bad as it looks cutting the plastics. Besides even if the hole looks a little chewed up you can use door trim to cover it.

Hate to hijack this thread but this is the first I have seen the T-Rex no drill sliders. They look different than others I have seen, does anyone have a set installed and would you rate them as durable, in appearance anyway, if you haven't dropped the bike with them installed.

[Aquaman]

Do not use them! The brackets will bend and not hold up. I have seen these in person on a bike, they suk.
There is plenty of help here if needed to get the fairings cut properly and do the job right.....

Welcome to the ORG. Good luck with the slider issue. Can't help you with that one.

Great group here.

There is one of the topics where some members disagree. I'll agree to disagree with Brendanp.

 I have Benelus Bike Design No drill sliders on my bike. I just could not bring myself to cutting the fairings on my bike. The T-rex sliders mentioned earlier are basically copies of the Benelux version. The Benelux are made in Belgium. They use top quality hardware. I have not seen the T-Rex units in person but suspect the quality might not be as high as the Benelux bike design product. The Benelux are high $$ however.

They are located about 1-1.5 inches away from the standard slider location to allow them to come through the fairing vent.

I feel they offer sufficient protection in a low speed low side drop. I do feel a top quality standard mount slider might offer a bit more protection. I have seen pictures from 3 different drops using the Bike design sliders. All three had minimal fairing damage. I have heard of one drop that the owner was not happy with the protection. I never saw the pictures so I can't judge that one myself.

Frame sliders were designed to protect the frame not the plastic anyhow. I figure I may have given up a few mph of protection over the standard design and my radiator is a bit more at risk because of the through bolt.  

There is a third type that bolts to a fairing bolt. I don't think you will find many that recommend this type. The fairing bolts and mounts are not strong enough to hold up even in a 0 mph drop.

No Drill crash results

Here are a couple pictures of mine.

There's been more than one person to go down with them (at least the Benelux brand which the t-rex is a knock off of) and they've held up fine without any sign of bending. Pictures have been posted in here and in other forums over the years as proof. Ask anyone bad mouthing them to post up some pictures of a set that actually failed. Not what they heard about them, but some actual proof. Now I've never seen the t-rex brand in person but from the pictures they look identical to the Benelux.

On the other hand any slider will fail past a certain speed. My favorite are the ones that bore a hole so close to the slider that if it bends even an 1/8 of an inch it's going to crack or take a chunk out of the plastic. And I never get tired of the botched installs (often done by dealers) with the oblong holes, chipped paint or my favorite where one gets installed in the upper engine mount near the gas tank.
