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.

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.Originally posted by chef1366 View Post

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.Comment

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 soonComment
