I am thinking of ordering a set of sliders to put on my bike, every bike i have ever owned ive dropped it atleast once over a stupid reason, mostly in the driveway.... so i think i want to put sliders on the bike to prevent some damage before it occurs..
Best? Well, depends ...they're all a compromise. Different schools of thought. 1) Mount to the frame requiring cutting the fairing and replacing the coolant tanks, and if you go down some say they'll dig in and flip the bike for more damage, or crack the frame. 2) Other tack to take is do a flimsy mount without cutting that can help with the garage tip over. I did the latter, pic attached, forget where I got them - I think it was UK.
If you don't want to have to cut the fairings, check out the ones in this post...apparently they work! Oggy Knob Sliders
You can also use these: http://t-rex-racing.com/catalog.php?item=220 No cut as well. I have LighTech no-cut sliders (I don't think they're available anymore) on my bike. Went down in a low speed low side a few years back and the slider helped. Had it been a higher speed, the slider may have caught in the grass/dirt of the field and tumbled the bike, but I'll never know ... thankfully. The T-rex units mount in the same spots my LighTechs are bolted to. Just FYI. ACE
