frame sliders

Hi Guys!! do they make frame sliders that you do not have to drill through your fairing?? I have a 2007 VFR 800 and I really don't want to put a hole in it. I'd appreciate any help....THANKS

Yeah there is a british company that sells some that put a stainless steel brace over your radiator and locate the frame slider there, I have heard that in a crash these things save your fairings....and demolish your radiator. but I cant attest to the truth of those rumors.
Id say drill the fairing. I still havent done it myself though....its just too pretty with no holes in it.....

 

just do it!!

two types are made, street (no drilling) and Race. motovation makes a pretty good set.

 

where do the street ones bolt up?

 

Here is an old thread with pics when I installed my motovation sliders with modifications to the coolant bottle. If you dont want to modify your bottle go with R&G which have a replacement that wont interfere with the slider.

it looks like the picture in this thread are the street model sliders. rather than a straight bolt they use a barcket that mounts just behind the radiator. the attached picture are the street sliders and brackets.

 

Where exactly you found those?

 

Question regarding the drilled hole size for both R&G and Motovation. Is it the size of the outside diameter of the frame slider?

 

I would like to get these!

Could you please let me know where you got these? I really like the way they look, and the fact you dont have to drill in the fairing. Thanks

 

My new frame sliders!

Just got new frame sliders. I didn't have to cut any plastics or modify anything. Just bolt it on. If anyone is looking for these let me know I will put you in touch with the guy I bought them from. They do come from belgium, so be prepared to wait a week or two for them. I included a picture of the sliders installed on my bike. The installation is easy and anyone that knows how to use a socket set can install these.

 

Previous owner installed these HPS sliders.....driveway drop has proved them worthy. Kits for 6th generation also. www.hpsbike.com

 

The link that you provided isn't working . Would you please check the website name again?

thanks in advance!

I Googled "hps bike" and found a good hit within the first several choices. Otherwise, try: Welcome to HPS - Performance Parts for your Motorcycle
Prices appeared in British Pounds as I just now checked. Nonetheless, they should be available to the U.S. market. Let me know if you still can't find them.

The hole for the R & G Sliders are 1.1 inches/28mm. Just follow the instructions, be patient and use a dremal.

 

try Oggy Knobs from australia. I read that they work pretty good.
Try not to throw your bike on the ground
