If you've got proper frame sliders then you'll need to drill holes in your fairings and the sliders mount onto your engine bolts.

Now as for wheelies, dude you've already dropped it twice. Lay off the wheelies for now and just learn to keep it on two wheels. You just started riding, get some miles in before trying any stunts. The safest way to pop wheelies, wait til you have more riding experience. But if you must, run a search on the forum.

It is called 'crashing'.

Frame sliders aren't going to really help you when you crash. If you think about the name, they are meant to slide on the ground before the frame, not act as a magic force field to protect the bike and rider. Maybe look into a 'cage' or stunt cage' these things are more like upside down 'roll bars' for your bike. It sounds like stunting is your plan so start looking in this direction, but just take it easy, especially on public roads until you have more miles under your belt.

Have fun.Don't become a statistic.

Forget stunts man, find some nice twisty roads and lean.

he's already done the leaning thing...he's dragged his fairings twice already mang!

150 is too much...should be like 75 bucks though...

clutching is the easiest way to do wheelies but not the best way to learn them...IMO it's rolling or bouncing them...but it takes timing so it makes it harder.
