Only a scratch on my pinstriping but had I had those might not have seen any damage. Just to my leg that is....... Still have the scars cause the bike landed on me.

Lockhart Philips.

the 1125 doesn't have sliders... that's what them big ol pods are for.

Those will protect the fairing in the situation in which your bike went down, a simple driveway drop. However, they suck balls if you go down at speed. The bracket will bend and damage the frame. I speak from experience. Frame sliders are meant to protect the frame, not the fairings. The "no body modification" sliders suck balls. Buy some real frame sliders and throw the others in the trash. I wouldn't even sell them to some clown on ebay, simply because they suck.

I agree with you on what they were designed for...maybe I'll change them later...maybe I won't.

I've owned several sportbikes and never even had frame sliders on any of them until now so I'm still better off than I have been in the past. Yes I've dropped bikes and never bent the frame even without the sliders...just hurt the plastic...levers and signals...been lucky I guess.:whistle:
