in terms of looking for sliders...do a search at the bottom..youll find ALOT of ish on it. Whether no-cut sliders r better then cut, what brand is good for what your looking for etc...
but to try n help a lil...they say cut is better and more durable...good brands include vortex, shogun, iim going with WOODCRAFT(due 2 more surface area and no HOLE in middle of slider...which reduces the slider from catching the pavment, which cud cause FLIPPAGE). there are some other expensive brands u can find by searching, etc etc blah blah...Good Luck! Let me know if u find summin..

+1 to woodcraft
i had Lockhart Phillips carbon with that aluminum ring around the end , they look cool but when i took a spill it cracked my fairing on impact and it was completely disintegrated at a 35 MPH fall
looks cool but don't recommended

I would stay away from cuts.... The best bet are the vortex no cuts, they are cheap, and easy... they grind down to nothing when you go down, but who cares that is what they are for, just slap on a new pair. Do not go with metal or carbon ones... the sliders are supposed to take the abuse of the fall, not withstand it... the metal ones dont absorb enough, and can get caught up in the pavement and whatever, causing more damage then a lowside would create in the first place.

No cuts SUCK!!!! Reason I say that is when you have an extension to go around a fairing, it causes a weak point to when it hits, they will snap on the extension. Its just one more step for something to go wrong persay! With normal sliders, the mount into your engine block and very rarely will that go wrong. Only problem Ive seen is when peolpe but metal ones and they dont grinddown and cause them to bend or flip the bike. Thats no good!

I bought a set of carbon ones from ebay. They were the cut-style, and of very cheap quality. I wouldn't recommend getting them. I now have shogun brand, which were $60, and they were worth it. Much better quality.
