    Those look like the same concept as Oggy Knobs....which several members on here have on their bikes. Use the search function for Oggy Knobs and see whatcha get...

    If they fit on 07 that would be great because they are a lot cheaper than the Oggy Knobs.

    Wow, I've been looking for a set of no-cut frame sliders for my 07 and I'll order them if they fit our bikes. Please let us know what they have to say. I too am curious about how/where they mount . . .

    Ok, I'll take your word or it as you have a set on your bike :^). Do you like them? The guy at OPP emailed me back & said that the 2006 sliders should work on my '07, so I'm planning to pick them up. I looked up threads about the Oggy? sliders, but the price is a bit much ...

    I went ahead & bought the ones from OPP. They fit just as in the picture posted by Dan-Slo above. I'm happy enough. It took 10 minutes to put them on.

    yeah i have a set of these on mine...they remove the rear motor mount bolts and just bolt up with new ones that are longer... they seem like they would work for just a knock over but anything with alot of force im not real sure.. and hopefully dont have to find out

    Well, OPP never mentioned 6 wks to me, but they did take longer than most other on-line stores I've dealt with, 2 wks I think.

    I also do not want to find out how strong these units may be, the posts on my friends Hayabusa sliders are 1/2 again as thick as these. But, I did not want to cut my fairing, or mount near the radiators, so this was my choice.

    Looks like they gave you credit for the pics....or did they do this after you pointed out that they are your pics? So how do you like the sliders BTW? Do they stick out like a sore thumb or do you feel as though they flow with the bike pretty good?

    I emailed OPP and they happily added my name to the pictures. When I sent them mid-last year, they seemed very grateful, because they could use it to help others who may be interested in the sliders.

    Overall they look okay on the bike. Most people ask me if I put the sliders on it, but they don't say anything bad about the looks.

    It's my intent to put the radiator-located sliders on some day...these were just more financially friendly. I had already spent a lot to buy the bike, needed to keep things happy with the wife! :)

    I don't have that particular brand, but I have no-cut sliders installed on my '07. They're ok. Knees bump them once in a while when I put my feet down at a stop, but not a general nuisance. Very easy install. 4 minutes for both?? Mine came with bolts that replace the bolts in the rear engine mounts.

    You can see them in the attached pic.
