Not sure which to recommend for your 08... but beware of turn 8(ATE).:stirpot:
Frame Sliders
So I find myself going to Jennings soon, and really need to get a good set of quality frame sliders for the 08. I do NOT want to cut plastic, and I know in order to eliminate that, you have to get that special bracket to mount them, so my question is, what is a good set of sliders to pick up?

i say cut the plastic.. nice sharp hole saw.. thats what i am gonna do atelast.
I would say go with the Woodcraft cut-style sliders.
But, if you really are set on no-cuts, call Brad (lexus rx) up at superbike supply and get some Motivation no-cut sliders. They seem to be one of the top recommended no-cuts.

Defo go with cut sliders, no cut aint worth shit, and i agree with h82loze with the woodcraft, they are easy to fit.
Try the LSL, they are a no cut solution they cover the cases on both sides with a braket and slidder puck, bit expensive, but I'd cut the fairings...
Unfortunately, Motovation only offers no-cuts for the '04-'07 1000RR.But, if you really are set on no-cuts, call Brad (lexus rx) up at superbike supply and get some Motivation no-cut sliders. They seem to be one of the top recommended no-cuts.
Alright, so since everybody is saying to go ahead and cut, can you recommend a good set of sliders that require the cut?
Yeah, a couple of the guys from the other forum i'm on (Jaxsb) have dumped down at turn 8, it's a bitch! Summit Point had a real nasty one also on the Shenandoah cirquit last time I raced there, I about smacked into the wall on my 5th lap :beat:Not sure which to recommend for your 08... but beware of turn 8(ATE).:stirpot:
Woodcraft as I mentioned above. They have more puck material and don't stick out as far as others. You'll find they come highly recommended.
How hard is it to cut without messing up the plastic? I've seen a few cuts where it has cracked outwards after time.Woodcraft as I mentioned above. They have more puck material and don't stick out as far as others. You'll find they come highly recommended.
Not hard. You just use a 2" hole saw drill bit. There are a few threads on it.How hard is it to cut without messing up the plastic? I've seen a few cuts where it has cracked outwards after time.
The hardest part is finding the spot to drill. The 2 easiest methods are either the laser pointer or the Play-doh methods.
