    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

looking to install frame/engine sliders

I want to install a set of newer style frame sliders to my 1100e and 750e. I should be able to mount them to the front engine motor mount. Has anyone done this before that can point me in the direction of what will fit with little modifications.
 
I'd like to know what a frame slider is? Possibly something I could spend more $$ on and **** off the wife?
 
Doug- Interesting idea. It'd be cool to see a set of newer sportbike sliders on a GS. :-D

Frame sliders protect your engine cases and frame in the event of a crash. Better to have a piece of tough plastic ground down than the more $$$ parts.

They look like this:

I too have been wanting a little more protection. I think I might find a fabricator here in vancouver and add some un wanted weight by having steel frame guard made to bolt on to the existing engine mounts. If any one knows how best to do this let me know.
 
Already done this on a gsx1100 race bike we used a set made for a 600 bandit with a slightly longer bolt & a spacer

They saved the engine cases during a serious off at the track but did bend the bolt & destroy the nylon slider, well worth the effort imo if you think you might throw your bike down the road anytime soon
