Frame sliders.

[gaetano]

OK, so I just washed the busa, cleaned the seats and it is looking very very slick. I go to get on it and lose my footing on my driveway (cause it's wet of course) and drop the bike on its side.

Aside from being extremely pissed at myself, I am wondering if frame sliders would have protected my plastic. It has minor scratches now, but I am thinking about getting some sliders now. I have a few questions.

1) Would frame sliders have at least lessened the scratching?
2) Which are the best? I see plastic, billet, etc.. Is it just personal preference?

Oh man... that sucks! Sorry to hear about that.

I'm looking at the Vortex sliders. It's 2 pieces... the Frame Slider Base and the puck. You can choose the puck color to match your Busa. And in the case of a mishap, you simply purchase a new puck.

My vortex sliders w/ aluminum pucks are arriving Monday. Then I have to get up the nerve to cut the plastic.

I looked at different types before deciding on the vortex because they are 2 piece.

i've heard the aluminum ones just break when droped.

Hmm, have not seen these before. Like the idea of a 2 piece. Thanks for the info!

If you get a chance, once you get them on, could you post the install & some pics?
