I was just wondering if one brand was better than the other. Thanks

Well, contrary to some people's belief that a frame slider will save their entire bike, Vortex actually saved mine back in May.

True, the slider was bent all to shit, but my bike was not so I consider that it did an excellent job.

I've got Shogun sliders on mine. I've heard good things of them but I haven't tried them out in a crash yet **knocks on wood**

If you really want to save the bike buy the factorypro.com's replacment billet engine cases with built in sliders...
If you want to protect your bike from a tip-over (less than 5mph) then get any frame-slider.
I like the Lockhart Phillips Carbon ones...

I have a set from Woodcraft. They don't stick out as far as the Vortex's.

 

[roverman]

i got the lsl's, they stick out good, normal i guess and they look nice.[}]

You want good frame sliders? I've got Sato frame sliders on my 05, and yes they're a little more expensive, but they've definitely saved my bike. I've crashed on em and the bolt didn't bend at all and they slid perfectly.

Shogun from Moto911.com heck even the owner of the moto911 company has a 2005 ZX6R 636. If he uses them and supplies to alot of racers...they can't be all that bad. $100 gets you frame, swingarm and bar ends with hardware and pretty good instructions, but come back here and ask us for better instructions and what to use to cut the plastic on the left

After owning a set of vortex for my 06, and going down with them (on the right side, the worse side) ..

and THEN doing a bit more research..

dont go with any other set then www.motovationusa.com

if you want to see why, look down on like page 2 of this board or so and see what happend with my Vortex ones, and just about every other brand will do almost the same thing. And the "no cut" ones will be even worse.

The right side is the worse of the 2 to go down on cause of where the frame sliders mount.

I bought Vortex sliders. I like the fact that you can just replace the pucks if necessary, rather than the whole assembly. That makes it a little cheaper in the long run, I guess.

 

[jdgun_13]

i went with the ones rom yoyo-dyne as whe the bikes 1st came out i talked to several racers that had tested them on track, awith good results, if you call wrecking a good thing...so i picked thm up.
Mushroom shaped and Solid as hell, replaceble pucks as well...

Did i mention you can remove the mushrooma dn put tie downs on in their place?

shoguns are crap! vortex are even worse! you want a really great quality slider go with Delrin sliders. They're made of a plastic polymer that doesnt spark and they're extremely durable. They use the same compound on many paintball guns and i just got a set for my 03' in black and they look awesome.

you dont make sense... you say shogun and vortex suck.. but then say to go with derlin ones. what do you think the sliders on the shoguns and vortex are made of?



anyways, like i said before... the ONLY brand i would even recommend after comparing all the ones ive seen and read about are the Motovation ones from www.motovationusa.com

that and maybe for 03/04's the LSL's look pretty decent from the pics ive seen.

but for ANY 05/06 owner, definetly go with the Motovation ones.

We've already seen and heard why the Vortex are crap, how 'bout you expand on your comment on the Shogun sliders? I'm interested since they are what I have on my bike now.

i prefer NONE

reason being?

they arent fairing protectors, tho in some cases they might help.... they are FRAME sliders meaning they protect your frame.

id much rather have to replace fairings then have my bike totalled cause of a cracked or damaged frame.

"SHOGUN FRAME SLIDERS Help protect your frame, engine cases and bodywork with Shogun Frame Sliders. Used by top AMA Pro’s, Las Vegas Extremes Stunt Team as well as Jason Pridmore’s, STAR motorcycle school." Hmm sho guns are crap, I would also like to know why he says this.

I'm with MP, Sato's are the shiznit. Anything from Sato is tight.

 

[cd3kd]

I've got Shogun sliders.

 

[hokie636]

I just went with the LP carbon sliders. They're the no-cut, which I will probably get flamed for but they're better than having nothing.
