Wasn't sure if it should go here or in the general, kinda new here, anyway I know alot of people dont like the no cut frame sliders for the f4i, call me a wus but my bike is in pretty good shape and I really dont want to punch a hole in the fairings right now. Right now I am looking at like the no cut T-Rex sliders or some kind of race rail. I really like the Powers race rail but you still have to cut. I would really like to find something that is the same design as the Powers rail but uses the no cut slider mount. Im decent with a welder and am thinking about buying a set of no cut slider mounts and making a race rail that goes back and mounts to the frame like the Powers does but goes like a few inches forward more and mounts to the no cut slider mount if that makes since, I know its not as good as a crash cage or a regualr slider but If I crash at high speed, Im sure its gonna be fucked no matter what u have on there, Im thinking of things like, someone knocks your bike over, u wipe out in some lose gravel, **** like that. Thoughts?

 

dont get me wrong cuz i keep my bike pretty but really, youre gonna have that much of a fit about cutting a hole in ur plastic that will look perfectly natural? u do know that running frame sliders is pretty much worthless? i mean if u tip ur bike over its gonna scratch your plastics anyway cuz frame sliders dont protect ****. as for race rails well your gonna scratch your case covers/if not brake them and most likely scratch the sides of your tail and upper depending on the fall. if ur gonna stunt get a cage. if ur not gonna stunt i dont really know what youre doing on here?

 

yep, even rails dont really protect a whole lot, like rear sets.......slidlers dont do anthing, unless u get those 6 or 7 inch long ones.....but a cage is the only way to really protect a bike......if u wanna stunt i wouldnt b worring about a fairing whole... anyways......even if u do cut a whole for a slider....ur sliders going in there so no one will see like a gapping whole anyway

 

take the fairings off, keep them in your bedroom, cuddle with them at night or something.

then get a cage cause sliders are pointless, and clutch some up

 

yea it was just a thought i wanted some feedback on. The reason I was thinking about going the no cut route is because I was talking to a friend about keeping the bike mint and hes like even if you cut the holes and repaint the fairings and put the decals on and make it look stock, u still have those holes there. So I got thinking about the no cut options, and there really isnt any, looks like ill just be cutting some holes. no biggie.

 

just get another set a fairings anc cut em and keep your stock ones minty if its that big of a deal. If your learning to stunt the bikes not gonna stay minty anyways side fairings or not. You can find some used plastics fairly cheap.

 

well it would be kinda stupid if you had sliders on to take them off to sell the bike... and no cut sliders are twice as worthless as the direct mount. the brackets for no cut sliders bend and the first light drop and make a nice little groove on your frame.

 

this threads gayer than a Richard Geere with a family of gerbils up his ***
