What are the best frame sliders made?
#2
Is RADAR still making kits???
#3
I have a set of RADAR's sliders and they saved me lots of money both times when my bike was tipped over!
#4
Didn't have access to Radar's when I purchased. I went with R&G. Seem sturdy.

Radar's or R&G RAcing's are the only way to go. :biggrin:

+1. I've dropped my 6th gen. on its right side (twice - d'oh!) and the slider and mounting bar held up great. Also makes picking up the bike a little easier, as it's laying at a bit of an angle instead of flat on its side.

Hopefully you never drop the bike, but ven with a frame sliders be prepared to straighten your shift lever or rear brake pedal.

Could one follow the nice step by step instructions Kanadian Ken made for the RADAR kit if you have the R&Gs?

Might make the kit a little easier to install...

+1 0mph drop tested my R&G also, on concrete, held up well. They're not as hard to install as you may think, taking your time and having patience is all it takes really.

Does anyone know if the R&G slider bumper is compatable with the radar slider hardware? I lost 1 radar bumper(just the part that would hit the ground) and now I have a rather large and poinless hole in the left side of my fairing. Help, it's starting to get warmer!

I have emailed Radar a few times but no luck with a reply to date.

A friend of mine gave me some info on a distributor in Vancouver BC for the R&G sliders w/ coolant bottle. The dealers here in Edm are telling me $260.00 but the guy in Vanc is saying about $220.00 delivered to right to my door. Just waiting for price confirmation. ( ETA 2-3 weeks from all sources ).
