Everyone knows that those sliders that bolt to the fairing are only for show. You gotta get to the engine mount to get a good grip (and save your fairings!!!) The hole you have to drill (on 98-02 at least) is well worth it.
Problem is that our engine mounts are deep behind teh fairing, so a regular slider wouldnt stick out far enough. And here comes this little company called Megatron UK to the rescue!
i ordered sliders from them and they were too short. So I told em and they made some special elongated ones free of charge! Total, including shipping from UK, was about $65, well worth it! They provided great service and could of just left my ass w/ the short ones. If you get sliders from them, tell em you want the longer specially made ones...and I even got them to take PayPal as payment(the bank wire transfer would cost another $40, paypal is free). Check em out at http://www.megatronuk.co.uk/frameset.htm . And btw, they call frame sliders "crash bobbins" .
This is by far teh best company that Ive dealt with!
you can check out some pics of them oon my bike: http://web.njit.edu/~vnp2271/yura/DSC00575.JPG
