I want to get frame sliders but i heard you would have to drill a hole through the fairings to have the slider bolted on. Is this true or can i there any other way the slider can go somewhere else without drilling a hole? Pictures would be nice too

 

ever heard of http://www.r6messagenet.com ?

Just a heads up on "no cut" sliders... Not sure how they look on the 2003+ R6's, but I had them on my 2000. They usually work by being on a standoff that moves them over a bit to avoid cutting.

I went down on my left side, and not only did it bend the slider, it pulled a couple threads out of the motor (not cool) - I was able to clean up the the threads, but I instantly through those in the garbage and got the "cut" kind.

DO NOT buy no-cut sliders! You know this

Why would you want to buy no-cut sliders anyways, it's not too hard to cut?

 

no cut sliders are just trash. if you are afraid of drilling your fairings, buy a set that are already drilled or have a shop do it.

your fairings will look a hell of a lot worse rashed up vs a set of drilled sliders

 

my no cuts for my 03 snapped right off in a 20-30 mph lowside

 

Dont be lazy, cut yer fairings. If you want frame sliders to work properly u'll cut em.

 

Try Sato racing , they have frame slider with no fairing cutting

WTF?! Spend money on some good sliders. Cheap ones break off! Couple of my buddies' bolts broke.
