Installed my sliders yesterday - quick shipping by Braunstein82, and looks to be a decent product. Hopefully won't ever need them, but better safe than sorry. Thanks!

Are the sliders still available?

I'm sure they are...PM Braunstein.

They are, I just bought a Pre Set last week.

Where in Raleigh are you?

Sliders are very worth it, put mine to the test yesterday, and worth their weight in gold, not a scratch on the plastic. Slide bent frame is solid...EVERYONE SHOULD BUY!!!!

My kickstand bolt came out yesterday on a ride, went to put my stand down...and it fell off....and of course I had already leaned the bike over.

I will be getting a set with my next paycheck.


seriously though, how the #*$K did that bolt just COME OUT??

happened to me on my pre kat a long time ago and on my gsxr about a year ago

Thats all the info there is for pre98, i have only sold a few sets and only have one left. There is one person now installing them this week so im sure he or I will post something up about them soon.

Yeah I wanted a set of them just have not had the spare cash. Not real sure on how to cut the holes in my plastics.

[katanarider]

Its sad that someone actually took the time to creat the product and didnt get rewarded with sales. Now the pre-98 Kats will feel the pain of broken plastics if production does not continue.
Maybe a case of out of sight out of mind? Could it be a marketing solution is needed ?
Powder coated colors, Youtube, and ebay to name a few.

yeah to be honest .... i'm on the fence about the pre 98 product..... I want frame sliders and have been saving for them since he said he was developing them, but i want them to work and the last review i read about them was kinda Iffy about how well it protected the frame. i would like to see a vid or something.

I'm not using the fairing so frame /motor protection is my MAIN reason for buying FRAME sliders.

I like braunstein and his post sliders look really cool. I've also been thinking about getting some of those... they seem like they protect the frame a lil better.

I'm getting the frame painted this summer so I'm defiantly looking for some protection.

I can attest to the post sliders. Lauri has dropped the Kat a few times without any damage to the bike nor to the expensive paint job I had put on.... Did what they were supposed to and well worth the money

[BRAUNSTEIN82]

The pre sliders really dont do any damage to the frame just in some test it put a .2" ding on the small part of the frame. Any in some test the bike went over the slider wheels off ground and bars and mirror hits ground. Basically the use for them would be for light drops and tip overs. In high speeds the slider would probley break off or put the ding in frame. And yes the post 98 slider will work on a pre 98 that doesnt have body work.
