I got mine from skyking and I luckily haven't had to test them out yet.

I'm considering buying the extended sliders for the front to further protect the bike in case it should ever slide or tip and ensure there is something which would stick out further than the radiator should the bike fall over. Plus, they're the same sliders the 'On One Wheel' wheelie school uses.

They also have tail section sliders, but thats about all they'll protect, your tail section plastic. Though, they don't stick out very far at all and look a bit odd.

Guys

I have these. My dealer recommends them too. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "extended" but the set I have go quite high up on the engine mounting bolt. Works OK unless you have long legs.

R&G!!

Tried the very pretty, but mechanically flawed LSL ones first, then went for cool, hard functionality.

Plus point with R&Gs is that if you have long legs, you can use them as knee rests when braking hard and not load up the bars by locking your elbows!!

Stunt demons apparently stand on them!!!

Have a look at my album : Volume 1 p6 (I think)
