Frame Slider

[hwyranger]

I just bought a new 2006 750 katana. I found that frame sliders are impossible to find. However, I have seen a few pics of Katanas with sliders. Are there any products on the market that will allow the installation of a slider without mods to the fairing? I have heard of clamps, does anyone have any experience with these? Are they strong enough? DO they have a clean installation?

Frame Sliders Forum: Purchasing Info and Reviews
- This forum is only for info about purchasing and reviews and pics from people who have or had sliders -

My slider brackets are made of medium strength aluminum and design to absorb impact and break or bend to avoid frame bending. They are made with 4 pieces of aluminum that brace around the frame then provide a mounting spot threw the lower vent on side of fairing. They have been ligthly tested by me but i have not personally high impact or speed tested them they are designed only to protect the paint on the fairings, depending on type and angle of fall the exposed engine covers may recieve scratches.

The basic idea for my sliders are for the typical loss of balance coming to stop or moving bike, to prevent paint and fairing damage!

In instance of a fall or slider the slider i provide (you may use your own slider) is made of derlin plastic and will absorb some impact it may also break in small fragments to absorb impact, it will also wear down in instance of slide so the the bike will not be tossed around and so that it will not put large amounts of stress on frame. The bracket made aluminum will also bend or flex to absorb impact, in case of higher impact it will also break apart. In this instance there is possibility that they may break some cooling fins, But the impact that would cause this wou have to be large and i most cases that mean the bike was in a serious wreak and would be totaled anyways.

There are many forums based about frame sliders so please use the search option on this website and search the word sliders, and review all info about them if you have any concern prior to purchasing a set.

Disclosure:
Please apply thck tape around frame where brackets are to be mounted ( to protect frame from scratches and provide a more snug fit). If the bracket are not mounting easily or seem to loose dis assemble the bracket and turn spacers around( the spacers are drilled to be rotated to provide either a more snug or looser fit, please call with questions 910-590-2939).These bracket are designed only to mount frame slider on to bike, durablitity is up to the brand of slider you buy, the brackets are design only for looks and minimal protection in case the bike is to fall over lightly or fall into a low impact slide, NOT FOR HIGH IMPACT. Make sure you use some type of thread sealer on the sliders bolt. You mount these at your own risk. If you worry about the slider not breaking off at high impact, make sure you buy sliders meant to do so. The seller of the brackets are not liable for any damages to your motorcycle, personal, or frame slider cause buy so.
