When I bought my bike it already had Shogun's on it in white. I really hate the way they look. On my Katana I put T-Rex slider's. I loved those. They're really well made and they have multiple mounting points for added strength. And they're priced as low or lower than some of the less desirable ones.

I just finished my girlfriends bike with the T-Rex sliders as well as Rizoma engine case sliders as well.

The T-Rex no cut sliders bolt right up to existing bolt holes and look great!
Im very please with the fit, and finish!
Here is a link to my post, and the pics are on Page 3, of the thread! http://www.600cc.org/forum/f89/rizoma-goodies-24293/index3.html

I vote T-Rex if you're going for no-cuts. They mount directly to avoid leverage on the bracket during a fall/slide.

If you haven't picked up a set yet Jeff, I recommend the OES sliders. I have them on my FJR as well and their customer service is great.

I had OES no cuts when I crashed and they saved the important parts of my bike and overall minimal scratching. Great product.

I dropped my bike at 10mph today with the shoguns on. Bent the shift lever, broke off the turn signal, and a few minor cosmetic scratches (kick stand, bar end, front fork, and crank case) that thankfully are minor enough to not think about replacing them.

The shoguns completely saved the plastics and a what would have been a lot more cosmetic damage.

Looking like I'm getting the T-Rex if they can get them out the door fast enough. Otherwise, I'll likely see if Penco in Kalispell has anything in stock when I'm down the next weekend.

I've got OES sliders, I've never had a crash but the wind has knocked it over twice (1 left, 1 right) - a few scratches on the sliders, bar ends, and black backing of the signal lights but absolutely no scratches on the paint (on the fall to the left the handlebars twisted enough to contact and dent the tank but if i ever sell it I'll just get the paintless dent removal done).

I recommend them.

Wow... they don't call it the windy city for nothing, I guess...
I like that you can re-order just one side or the other on the OES sliders, however, I'd be concerned about them snapping, in a low side slide, with just a single attachment point. Was wondering if anyone has seen this happen?

I've used T-Rex in the past, and they always use multiple attachment points... Haven't had to 'deploy' them (knock wood), but... just sayin'...

Just ordered myself a pair of the T-Rex frame sliders. Hopefully they go on nice an easy and I never have to find out if their protection is up to snuff.

Just got the Yamaha frame sliders and i was about to install them, when i read the instructions and saw i have to drill a hole through my fairings. Gonna return them on Tues (that's when the dealership opens) and get some other ones that i wont have to drill hole for. Very disappointed, should have done my research first.

from what I have heard, the drill ones are better overall...no cuts can bend, and might end up damaging what you're trying to really protect (engine) after all.

Puig Pro Frame Sliders - FAILED!

Went for a quick ride to top off my fuel today for track day tomorrow (and just to get a quick ride in). When I got back, I looked at my bike and there was a little something missing... my left side slider. Whaaaa?

No impact; no damage anywhere at all. The Puig completely sheared off. I didn't have good lighting to get a good photo, but I will post.

I would NOT recommend these after this experience. It literally sheared off with normal heat/vibration from the engine. There is no way this could have held up the bike.

The worst part... it happened the night before my track day at TWS. If I go down, please let it be a lowside on the right (and let this slider work).

I will be replacing with something else ASAP.

First picture is looking towards the front on the right side of the bike. You can clearly see the slider in place.

The second picture is the sheared off attachment bracket on the left side of the bike.

I never noticed it fall - didn't hit my leg and didn't seem to have hit anything on the bike.
