I was just wondering what frame sliders look like on a bike? Where do they go? I just hear they protect you when you crash. lol If anyone has any pictures could you post them please?
Thanks

Not a great picture hard to see but here it is. Basically they screw into your engine mount and stick out so if you go down it helps to prevent major damage. Of course if you go down at 160 mph it's probably not going to matter.

it's made to extent further than the fairing in case of lay down, it provens the fairing for receiving too much damage.
Hope this answers your question.

The ones I have are 5000k Eagles eyes HIDs. From what I heard, 5000k are more blueish. 6000k is whiter, 7000+ get purpleish.

Hey Squi9resSCA, thats an awesome looking ride you have. Where did you get the mesh? Is your frame slider made of Derlin or Alluminum?

Aluminum. The grills I made from an automotive grill cover like the ones that every ricer puts on his crappy econobox. LOL
I cut one up, shaped the pieces to get the contours right, and then glued them in place with gasket maker. I am probably gonna paint them glossy black though...

how do you get the whole in the perfect location? i see that the slider just fits in the hole drilled. i have a set but am to scared that i will drill the hole a little off and then it wont look good.
