just wondering what are the best frame sliders to get for an 05 kawi636. i don't know how happy i will be about cutting the fairing but is this the best way to go? any suggestions would help thanx 05636

 

Check the Shogun Sliders from moto911.com. They were no cut on my 03-04 but not sure about 05-06. Great quality & good price.

 

i think even with the shoguns you have to cut the 05/06 fairings. i went with the vortex sliders and couldnt be happier.

 

from my experience with the no cut sliders i would recomend that you go with the cut ones, i had the no cut ones on when i slid my bike a few weeks ago and the no cut caused more damage to the fairing than the slide itself.

 

My No-Cut Slider just have a 1/2 inch notch cut into them to clear the fairing. I agree; Some No-Cut sliders have an offset bracket that may cause damage if USED in a crash. I had bought some cheap sliders on Ebay that mounted to the fairing attach bolts which would have cracked the fairing and damaged the frame. Filed a dispute and got a refund cause the guy was a A$$#@!&.

 

I have the vortex, and dhad the unfortunate luck of testing them out.... They are worth their weight in gold... I had no experience cutting plastics when I put mine on, I just went and bought a dremel and took my time... It took about 30-45 minutes to do both sides (I know one side you don't have to cut, but I groun it down a little for more clearance) and they look/work great.

 

shoguns for 05/06 are cut

 

I went with Lockhardt Phillips ProImpact sliders for our bikes. They are the no cut ones, and so far haven't had to test them out yet!

 

if you get the shoguns make sure you have a 3/8 allen wrench
