No cut frame slider for VFR

Hello¡
just to show some pics of my frame sliders, I found them in UK ebay,good price and fast shippment, there is no need to modify any part of bike.
Go to ebay.com.uk and will find good VFR pieces.
Saludos desde Mexico.

 

the shipping cost to Mexico was 4 uk pounds, everything was 14 pounds,(one week to receive it) not too much money for the protection.
Installation it's pretty easy, just uscrew a bot and put it in the same place, the stainless steel bolt and washer included
I don't know if they're strong enough but it's better than not at all.
I hope never fall down and find if the thing works ok...........

You might want to take a look at what that is mounted to behind the fairing. All that it is attaching to is a thin steel bracket that will definatly collapse in the case of a fall. My guess is that those sliders may even cause more damage to your fairings if your bike tips.

 

Thanks for the advise¡

Hello¡
Thanks for the advise. I saw that and I'm agree with you, I'll try to reinforce or change for some stiffer or stronger bracket, I hope not fall down before i can do this.................
Although I think the bracket could bend and the slider may resist....don't want fo find out what occurs fist.

Thanks again¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

 

That might offer a little help if you just fall over in your garage or where ever, but that thing isn't doing anything at speed. No slider for a VFR, not even Radar's(I have these), will do much for you at speed.

 

"Bobbins" on Ebay....

I looked at these, sort of "mini sliders" that attach with the fairing bolt.
I agree, I came away feeling that they would do more harm in a fall, even a static drop.

Zona, I am considering "Radar's", what can you tell me about them, many on here rave about them....

 

Like the Kids say, "I feel ya'"...

My concern was that when the bracket bent or sheared, the bolt, bobbin, et al would twist through he fairing, instant shatter/hole. If I understand it correctly the "Radar's" attach more robustly to the frame proper and should not twist out or shear as easily as these bobbins would. Or should I say appear that they would.

 

Radar's kits are not cheap, but compared to what's available, they're the best way to go. He sends everything you need to install them easily. You have to buy a 18" long 1/4" drill bit and a 1&1/8" hole saw to do the job, so that added about another $25 to the job. Total outlay is about $250. You get a new engine mount bolt that has been tapped to receive the slider mounting bolts, bolts, slider stems, sliders, and drill guide plugs. See VFRD for install info. It took me about three hours to do the whole job and was very easy.
