Greets gang,

Anyone ever put a Slider, or found the need to put a Slider where the rear pegs go? I removed mine and have my Frame Sliders going on in a few when I get the time. However, I was looking at the bike from the side and it looks like in a fall, the rear would still get hit.

Pic included.

I agree, the rear cowl is vulnerable unless you are running "hard bag sliders", which would prove to be very expensive if used. :biggrin: If you are not going to have your rear pegs mounted then you could try a slider there except the aluminum brackets would most likely crack on impact as has happened with front peg brackets for some who have dumped their bikes. Certainly worth a look though.

I just wonder how bulky or how far it would hang out there. Usually if it has been done to a VFR, you can find it here. I couldn't find any pics in the search. Was hoping to get lucky.

Well, someone's gotta be the first.

Going to try these I think. Might be interesting. I am not near my bike though, anyone tell me what kind of material that black bracket part is? Think it would survive a tip over with a slider attached to it?
