They are uglier than sin and can cause frame damage instead of a few scratches.
i would have broken my fairings instead of just scratched if it weren't for my sliders.

but yeah... there some cases where frame damage happens. i haven't seen one yet though.

but i've seen some bikes getting saved from even more serious damage bec of their frame slidiers.

the one on my current bike right now is actually not ugly.... but im having doubts about how much it can save my bike in a high speed crash though.

i already know it works great for low speed drops. :oops:

I just havent considered sliders just because i think they are hideous looking, but i wasnt even aware that they caused frame damage

Nice ride man! Yellow is a good choice....the fastest choice... :mrgreen: Make sure you take that MSF class sooner than later. Its brings things up that you might not think about before taking it....plus, discount on insurance!

I will definately be taking it by the end of next month. Getting paid once a month sucks like that though.
