Frame slider?
Alright I am bout to pull the trigger and buy some sliders. Whats the deal with them. Whats good plastic, metal, polished metal, anodized, and etc. I have heard metal sliders are bad, why? What brands are good and where is a good inexpensive place to buy them?

get cut ones and replaceable pucks. I would ask around people who have that bike with experience dropping it to see which brand holds up the best.

Im ordering OES sliders due to all the great reviews theyve gotten from yzf600r.com members. They are no cuts that are supposed to have very strong bolts that use the engine mounts.

What is it about the no cut sliders that makes every hate them. Is it the bracket that bends on them... I would imagine that sliders cant offer the greatest protection in higher speed crashes anyways.

Well then your choice is to find other gixxer owners and see what no cut bracket they think is the best.

I have the no-cut frame sliders on both bikes and like them. I've never dropped the R1 but the wife did drop the R6 at a low speed and the frame sliders paid for themselves right then and there.
I like them and have heard of several stories of people having good luck with them.
Having said this...Trip DOES have a good point...no-cuts are not as good "in most cases" as the type you have to cut your plastics with...when it come to protecting the frame if you lay it down at speed. No-cuts do work but they are more likely to fail imho.
I have the Shogun Crash Kit and yes they have them for the R6S as well.
