frame sliders for a 1986 vf700f2

dose any one know of a company that makes frame sliders for a 1986 vfr700f2. i have been surching for a little bit now with no luck, i dont want to cut or weld on my frame if i dont have to.

 

No one makes them. You'll need to buy some universal ones of the correct length and a longer bolt and mount it in place of a factory frame or engine bolt.

The tricky part is deciding where you want them, because it would suck having to cut a hole in the fairings.

 

I have "Crash Bobbins/ Mushrooms " on my VFR. I bought them on Ebay/UK dealer for @$40 last year. They are not built for a crash but 2 times (UGHHHH!!) my Bike has fallen over and the fairing has been spared because of those things- they are worth ever penny ++. And, it took me all of 5 minutes to put them on my bike.... I have a Youtube video up (VFR no drill frame sliders or something like that). Good Luck

Ride Red!

 

ya thats what i figured dang shame that they dont make them. ya i might as well design my own and weld some up, ya the no drills i dont think could handle a crash but a drop easy

 

I've got some pics of 86/87's with frame sliders if your interested. The police versions have real frame sliders, but you can't buy them.

 

ya i would be interested its always nice to have pics to look at. all things are for sale for the right price

 

I'll post pics later today.

The sliders on the VFR750P were japan only, police only. They are incredibly hard to find. Although I did hear of one being at a salvage yard in the UK. They have a lot of unique parts. I already have similar handlebars and I need their foot pegs.

Anyway, I was thinking of making a version of their front frame sliders, except shorter and closer to the bodywork to hide them better. Then I figured it would better to swap to some sticky radial tires and just not lay the bike down anymore.

 

I almost forgot. Here are some pics I've collected. The drawing shows my ideas for placement. These bikes first fall over and make contact with the cases, then they tend to fall over further and scrape up the handlebars. I would want 3 contact points per side to fully protect in case you went down.

 

Here are a few pics of the Police sliders. They look like they would do a good job, but are a bit too large for my tastes.

 

You could also fab a little cage for serious protection or add some bars like this bike. They are like the police bikes, but more subtle and they look pretty effective.
