    I previously had the yoshimura frame sliders on the bike, they seemed to crash well during a lowside and kept the bike lifted off the ground and the body work untouched. I'd like input from people that have crashed on different brand sliders before purchasing!

    Thanks!

    I've had good luck with Woodcraft sliders.
    It's nice that you can buy replacement pucks and just replace those when needed with Woodcraft.
    They have protected my R6 well with the couple of mishaps I've had.

    Yoshimura's work great however they don't sell replacements which steered me away from them.... I would say Woodcrafts or None at all...

    I'm not a fan of frame sliders if they need to be long to work on the model bike. But when I do use them. I use Woodcraft!

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned Woodcraft or not, but Woodcraft is the way to go, if you absolutely must have sliders, or none at all.
