I heard that these were actually being produced and shipping!

i would like to see how they are making them no cut. I dont see any possible way to mount them without some ridiculous type of bracketry.

Ya I'd like to see how this works since the frames are pretty similar to the older ones and I haven't seen or heard of any frame sliders for those...

I was wondering where you would attach frame sliders on the 08 250R. I am not familiar with this, but an experienced rider I know was unable to locate a position to attach them to. Does anyone have any ideas?

Probably it has an extender/adapter of some sort and attach it to the engine mounting bolt.

Is that safe?

Should be since the extender will probably take most of the stress on impact. I don't know if it's going to help or not though.

Ill email them and ask for a fairing less example of where its mounted.
So far im 2 for 2 on companies emailing me back and helping me out when I ask. We will see how their customer service is :)

Personally I'd rather cut my fairing than have a slider that uses extensions. The sliders aren't there to protect the fairing, they're there to protect the frame. Hence "frame" sliders.

And for those wanting them to protect their bike if they tip over, remember... the slider will be the first point of contact with the ground, which means the majority of the force generated from the impact will be pinpointed where the slider is mounted. Usually it's not enough to damage the frame, but with a slider that uses an extension, there's a decent chance the extension could break or bend.

i always thought they were there to protect the fairing AND frame..my cousin was doing a wheelie on a side street, after i asked him to be careful, ended up doing a tank slapper and goin down..had frame sliders. he convulsed in the middle of the street and his bike slid about 40-50 feet away. the sliders actually kept the fairing off the ground and the only thing wrong with it was the clutch lever, left mirror, and shift lever was scraped up. the bike damage was waaayyyy less than his hospital bills..which is actually the lesser of the two evils?

p.s.
the sliders were ground almost all the way down

Many people get them under the assumption they're meant to protect the fairing, and the name "frame slider" just means they mount to the frame. A new frame for a bike costs a bit more than a new set of fairings, not to mention you can destroy every piece of fairing on a bike yet it won't be considered a salvage title by insurance... get even a scratch on the frame and you've got yourself a salvage title.

My frame sliders should be coming in, in about two days so I can let you know how it goes! I ordered the Shogun No Cut Frame Sliders for the 08 Ninja 250R.

Take lots of pictures!

So has anyone tried the Intuitives yet (link posted by Werewolf at top of thread)?

My bike is equipped with IRP frame sliders. They are well made and fit well when properly installed. Thankfully, I have not had to use them, but in the event that they are tested, I believe they would be quite effective. For the price, I would recommend them to anyone, particularly new riders.

Have we reached a consensus yet on whether or not an extension/hole is needed?

I am waiting for my bike, and as a new rider I would like to avoid serious damage should the bike go down, and I think the frame sliders would be a wise investment. But I do need to know how they would go mounted. Has anyone posted any pictures of the process yet?
