Frame Sliders

[Matt]

Does anyone know of affordable frame sliders? I've checked on eBay but there's nothing and then there's these

KTM RC125/200 '14- Non Drill Aero Style Crash Protectors CP0377BL

Which are awesome- I was quick to purchase but when checking out the total came up to $200 because of shipping

Does anyone know if these will actually fit the RC 390?

Fell free to share your thoughts

The first set you found on ebay for the Duke would require that you cut a large hole in your fairing, right where the black and white plastic overlap each other. I looked into them a while back. It would be difficult and messy. The next two both look perfectly legit. I have been searching, so thanks for posting the links.

The first set you found on ebay for the Duk... osting the links.

Yeah I did a lot of research and that's the best I've come up with- from which I went with this set up:

The Sato ones are $$$pendy, but look to be more secure (multiple mounting points) than the R&G ones that look to only saddle a frame spar. The mounting of the GSGMoto ones look similar, and save $35. I can attest to WHAccesories as a good source.

Matt, which frame sliders did you get?... I can't tell by the picture. The WHAccesories ones look really good and professional.

Also I can't help but wonder do these sliders require you to take off bolts that go thru the front wheel axel? What about the engine bolts, do you have to remove them for the frame slider? Should a mechanic install these?

I've installed frame sliders before that replaced engine mounting through-bolts. What I've usually had to do is support the engine (gently) from below, usually with a floor jack and a piece of wood. That's to keep the bolt from binding coming out or going in. Dunno nuthin' about the RC yet, but that's what I've done in the past.

WHA's usually pretty accurate in their projection on parts shipment. Post up pics! Theirs are kinda small.

They look good; curious to know how they attach. Post when you get them installed!
