Best Frame sliders

Yea im sure many people have asked before but here i go. What are the best frame sliders? Its going on a 600 RR if it matters. THanks

I have Woodcraft sliders and they are very nice. They are not the hollow "tube" style like vortex or others, meaning they have a solid puck which translates to alot more material to ground down before your vitals hit the pavement. They come in colored aluminum but I went with the ugly plastic ones because they do the intended job the best.

I was told to get plastic because the metal ones during a fall don't help the bike slow down as much as the plastic.

If I was told this incorrectly I am sure someone will chime in.

Check out the sliders from yoyodyne, http://www.yoyodyneti.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=E80130. They're a two piece unit,aluminum base with a replaceable Delrin cover. I've crash tested mine, and they work great. Only grinded down the cover and no damage to the base.

Try this www.badphish.com hope it helps, its one of a kind too........

Read my review on Vortex frame sliders.

Heres a pic of the woodcraft sliders I have. They have a solid puck (not hollow like vortex) that you can replace in the event of a drop without replacing the whole slider. The puck retention bolt is near the base, outside of the puck so you don`t have to go through the inside of a damaged hollow puck after plastic, asphalt, dirt, and god knows what else gets packed into it after a crash.

+1 on the Woodcrafts. I've got them on my bike and they seem to be really nice. Hopefully I won't have to test them out, but if I do I'm confident that they will hold up.




And one more thing, I don't have to pull the plastics off to cahnge the pucks if I ever have to.

Uncaged Cycle Products is another company offering a solid puck frame slider. From their website, it's a pretty solid design. Looks like they have sliders for the 929/954RR models.

ok i never had frame sliders before, stupid thing for me to do.. but i always wanted to know how far does the sliders protect? can it save the handle clip-ons or is it just he fairing?

Hey everyone,

How does everyone feel about Lockhart Phillips frame sliders? I really like the look of the carbon fiber shell, but has anyone actually had to use them?

Cant say i have tested them and hope i never have to but i threw on a pair of the vortex frame sliders. It just seems smart with the two part design. If u do end up using them u only have to replace the puck and that cost like $15.00 as opposed to other brands where ur buyin a whole new unit and pay another 40-50 dollors.

Has anyone use or have used the ones from shogun? Trying to decide what to go with.

just curious, how much will the sliders protect? will there be a lot of damage or scratches? i know they are made to protect the necesities so to speak. and also everyone is talking about replacing them and such, they are pretty much good until they are warn down correct? (newb questions)
