Congrats. Those "frame sliders" are worthless. They will actually cause damage when crashed on. I know this first hand, they will bend and break and smash themselves into the frame. It is not pretty. I have pictures if you don't want to take my word for it. Woodcraft and Evotech are my favorites.
Thanks! I would love to see the pics. I also laid down my bike in a low speed hairpin and these saved me plenty of money in plastics and parts...walked away with a broken foot peg and a small scratch on the forward engine cover.

J, it's the stock windscreen. G, yeah it's lifting...keen eye. I totally screwed up applying these. Didn't think the whole piece would fit/conform, so I cut them to make them fit. I had a set on my SRAD, and they went on so much easier. Maybe because the tank was less curvy. If you do plan to get these just remember to heat them prior to application...something I did not do. I'll upload more pics in a few.

It looks good though!
You could probably pull it off, remove the adhesive and replace with a 3M solution. I use 3M double sided adhesive at work, which is basically just a strip of glue; super thin and sticks well.
I went the Stomp Grip route, but am thinking of switching to the Snake Skin. The finish is a little bit more classy IMHO.
Congrats to you both! I can honestly say this is a step up from my 00 SRAD. Knew going in it would be, but not by this much. Good thing I use my head when riding otherwise I'd already be in a ditch or wrapped around a pole somewhere.
I plan on getting another set and doing it right this time. I will keep a few pieces from this set because I want the middle grip to extend down from slightly below the filler cap to the seat.
Good call! I really like them also. I just wish they made one to cover the crankcase. Not really why they don't but it's whatever, I guess. [emoji848][emoji849] Hope you enjoy your 60th!!
