Frame sliders, a "must install" mod.

[AL72]

I own a new 2014 FZ6R, and the only mod I had installed was the frame sliders (Shogun). Yesterday I made a "U" turn in a cobblestone street and I step my right foot on a loose stone, and the bike (and me...) fall to the right. I stopped the engine immediately, lift the bike (with the help of a guy that was in the sidewalk), and cheerfully it was intact, no one single scratch in fairings, turn signals, levers, gas tank, etc... just a very little mark in the right slider.
I don´t want to imagine the cost of a new right fairing!

Regards!

Girlfriend took a pretty good spill last Sunday and believe me when I say that frame sliders are the best investment you can make to lessen the amount of costly damage if you are to drop the bike. I am amazed as to the amount of protection they supply. Girlfriend was wearing full protective gear and like the bike suffered minor injuries.

First thing I did. $50 is low cost insurance..

Nearly dropped mine when my foot slipped in muddy rocks. Thankfully didn't, but sliders are now at the top of my list of things to get!

i think a lot of people, like myself, only get them after a drop lol. I reccomend before a drop. Luckily my drop only put a tiny scratch on the signal (which i was switching to flush mounts anyway) so i put t-rex on there 2 days later.
