Frame Sliders... - 3/16/2005 8:31:25 PM    ConKhiSoMot   Posts: 7 Joined: 1/7/2005 Status: offline Hey guys, I am wanting/planning to buy and put a pair of frame sliders on my CBR, but the guy at the dealer only had the ones where he had to drill through my preetty fairings. I go nuts as is over a scratch on the tank due to my zipper rubs, but i dont think i can handle two gapping wholes on the side of my plastics. Are their alternatives for this? I think i seen some r6's with 4 sliders attached without compromising their plastics. suggestions? Post #: 1

RE: Frame Sliders... - 3/16/2005 8:49:58 PM    BlindLOKI Posts: 728 Joined: 1/22/2005 Status: offline Fom what ive heard the only way to put frame sliders on the 600 RR, becuase of its shape and plastic location, is to drill the plastics. BUT! The 1000 RR was previously the same way, untill just recently I heard they have a kit that goes around the plastics somehow. Now... as you can tell, im definately not the expert on this, but there are a few people on here that DO know what is going on in the world of frame sliders. I hope they post for your sake :P take it easy, good luck, Chris < Message edited by BlindLOKI -- 3/16/2005 8:52:42 PM > _____________________________ I feel like Im diagonally parked in a parallel universe http://www.putfile.com/blindloki http://photobucket.com/albums/v109/funnyjoka/ Mac&Cheese+Bike=BIG f*kin wheelie (in reply to ConKhiSoMot) Post #: 2

RE: Frame Sliders... - 3/17/2005 12:37:06 AM    ConKhiSoMot   Posts: 7 Joined: 1/7/2005 Status: offline Im trippin over the hole because fairings are extremely expensive and if there IS a way around further damagin them then why not go for it. besides, since drilling a hole is pretty much a trial and error thing it is hard to get them to look right. I have friends come out with crookedness and cracks due to improper installation from cert. honda mechs. but point taken on the whole reason for sliders. thanks for the inputs and i'll give the brands stated a look.

I have been kicking this idea around for awhile and what I have come up with since I have full coverage on the bike it dont matter if I drop it or drill it if I ever wanted to make it OE again still the plastic would have to be replaced. And my luck as it is as soon as I install them someone will come out with sliders that you dont have to drill. I guess I will just take my chances (in reply to jwp6114) Post #: 12
