[RACER_X]

just seen these

2008-2010 Suzuki Hayabusa Busa YOSHIMURA FRAME SLIDERS : eBay Motors (item 220557263127 end time Feb-22-10 14:21:08 PST)

seems they are a yosh product, any opinions?

The sticker kinda makes them look fake to me. The symbols look real to me, but there is no Yosh on it anywhere. They look fake in my opinion.

Frame sliders are frame sliders. Does it matter if they are Yosh or not?

and here they are on yosh's site

I will say that all frame sliders are not equal, some actually work during a get off. I would have more faith in Yosh's since they actually race bikes vs. some company with a CNC machine making copies of this and that. Just my 2cents.

why would i advertise yosh, imo it looks very tacky...

 

[RACER_X]

well i don't really care that they are yosh, i care whether they will hold up in a crash.

i think the yosh badge can come off.

Once with sliders ... the damage was about the same, cracked the clutch / case cover. I am not convinced they work for the Busa

Is that the slider bent over or did it disappear in the wreck?

IMO I think all sliders are only good for "tip overs" and get off's that result in a "slide only", then the hard parts have a chance. Clutch covers, plastic, bar ends and the like are all "sacrificial pieces" and will be sacrificed.
