Thanks!

They are above average and great for the price... The only issue I had was the instructions called for the long and short slider to be installed reversed. I quickley switched them... The short slider should be on the throttle side (right), not the clutch lever side (left) as the instruction indicated. All and all, I am very happy with them.

I've just installed these couple days ago, so far everything is perfect! I like the extended version, it's long enough to rest your feet on, and looks like it would actually protect your knee in case of a fall.

I don't think you can go wrong for this price:

Here is a picture of mine after I went down I have been sending them emails about getting them replaced and they haven't gotten back to me

I only had damage to the rear brake lever, peg, and grab handle very minor

What brand of slider is that??

Looks like uncaged. Uncaged did not have the black puck recently (for the past month), so I went with motivation which is also a reputable and proven company. I am happy, but thankfully have not needed to test them.

they are Uncaged sorry. If they ever get black ends in stock its way cheaper to just replace the ends. I paid 74 for mine to but I could get black they might go back up when they have black in stock

You could always just paint 'em whatever color you want.

Redzag11, if you get the T-Rex I recommend you make sure that they included 10mm-1.25 pitch x100mm length bolts. They sent me 90mm length bolts which are too short...at least for a '07 FZ6. They quickly came back with the correct bolts after I e-mailed them about my story (too short bolts=stripped engine mount threads when torqued to Yamaha specs). The sliders are quality, amazingly inexpensive for what you get. General advice: All brand sliders, make sure you received correct length bolts--that they will bite as many threads as your Yamaha stock engine mount bolts.

I just don't understand, you guys are paying $50+ and dealing with wrong bolts and lack of support????????????????

This is $17 it has the CORRECT bolts, they are longer protect more, serve as foot rests and did I mention look awesome?

I bought these first, but the bolts were short (fewer threads in the block than stock) when I found the right length bolts locally, the delrin plastic distorted in shape as I torqued the bolts to 40 ft.lbs. For me that was a ($17+8 shipping+bolts+time) $30 mistake.

I have ordered, intalled and tested (slow mo drop) the uncaged sliders (in black) and am very pleased.

Please practice picking your bike up before you have to do it for real! Get some help laying it down and picking it back up the first time.
