Frame sliders for a '99 TBS

Has anyone put frame sliders on their TBS? If so what brand, and how hard were they to install?
Thanks in advance for any info!

Try this. Good looking but pricey.

I asked a triumph wrecker about frame sliders once and he talked me out of it. He said the sliders focus the shock load and shear the alloy head where the frame attaches. I figured he had seen enough wrecks to know what he was talking about.
