best frame sliders

Hi and welcome! I have the T-Rex set. Also the Shogun sets are nice.
If you choose the T-Rex, open the package and take out the bolts/ hardware. Go to the nearest home-depot or the like and replace them to the T. The threads are different enough to ruin your internal threading. At least my set was so I replaced it before any damage could be done.
ALSO if you need to check on something or you have a question use the SEARCH feature for the site. Most things have basically been covered.

Hi Uno - I, too, am new to the forum and my T-Rex's showed up yesterday-was going to put them on over the weekend. Would I just be replacing the bolts with the same type because the threading is manufactured incorrectly, or am I looking for something completely different at HD or Lowes? Thank you for your guidance!

These are the ones I went with. I believe I bought them from NewEnough though but it's been awhile. The install was easy, didn't even have to fully remove the fairings. I think it all comes down to personal choice as far as what you want to spend / what kind of look you're going for. All the sliders mentioned above also have great reviews on this forum as well as out on the road.

I talked the the dealer into throwing in (installed) the Intuitive Racing no cut sliders (Intuitive NO CUT Frame Sliders for FZ6R 09-10 - Frame Sliders & Bar Ends - Solo Moto Parts) on the deal when I bought my bike.
Took a week to get them and his wrench monkey said they were the easiest he's ever installed.

thanks , just purchased some.
thanks for those who replied, I have just purchased a set off of ebay, they are no-name NO CUTS, has anyone used these? are they any good? If anyone installed them, let me know if I need to use extra parts (change the bolts, or extra washers to keep off frame?) thanks again.

The biggest point about frame sliders is how they handle in a crash. You dont want them to just snap off, and you dont want them to be completely rigid and solid.
You want them to absorb the impact and most likely bend a little bit. Other wise if they are solid they transfer all the energy to the frame and other parts of the bike.
If they just snap, then they wont help much.

Just got and installed my Shogun Sliders in literally 5 minutes! They look really good quality to me. Very sturdy. I can stand on them while they are installed haha. Wont recommend that though!
I didnt even have to remove my left fairing like most said I would. My extension fit right in there and it was a breeze. Not sure how easy they are to install on the FZ, but i've had the fairings off the FZ many times and thats a breeze in itself. The R6 is a PITA getting the fairings on and off
I used the sockets with the allen hex sticking out of it. Very handy to have!
I would indeed recommend the Shogun sliders!

I have the Shogun sliders for my 6R, and I love them. They are very good quality and extremely easy to install. I would recommend them to anyone.

Why do people come on here, fail to use the search feature, get really good advice, then go buy something that nobody's using when you could have just done this in the first place. I don't get it.
OK rant over.
because...
i just wanted to see what everyone was using. Just more info. However, I purchased a pair off no-name slider off of ebay that turned out to be great quality, didn't need me to remove my fairing, and cost about half as much as most. I took a gamble and it paid off. Makes u wonder why noone else has recommended these.
