Good frame sliders are worth their weights in gold. I prefer Woodcraft and RhiniMoto.

Have you "crash tested" the Woodcrafts? I'm waiting to see what Suzuki does with the '09 GSXR1000 asit's a remodel year but if it's similar to what they have now,I'm going to keep my bike and totally re-do it. I really like the closed end look of them.

I have the LP sliders on the SV, and they help, mostly to save the radiators as there is not much for plastic on it.

the 1125 came from the factory with "sliders"
Them big ugly pods everyone bitches about are designed to take the impact, and at only $50/each its not too bad.

They work in a tip over. only other scratch was little one on the clutch cover.

FYI, on the 1125, when it's in 2nd, you don't have to hold in the clutch to start it.
