Well, I'm a fan of sliders for sure since my bike has been down five times and look at it. I also use axle sliders, swingarm sliders and would use engine sliders if I didn't already have Vortex covers...
Maybe the sliders haters should check out the newer, flatter frame sliders that are out. They don't do Crap for the body work but incorporated with axle and engine sliders.....
