I have a curvy 'S' and the kit on mine use the two upper sets of engine bolts, so basically they have double the fixing points joined by a thick alloy bar which the actual slider mounts to in between the two engine mounting points, it certainly looks like it will do the job in the event of a fall over , not sure about the actual nylon slider itself surviving but not planning on finding out anytime soon!
I have rear paddock stand bobbins to save the swingarm but nothing to save the Delkevic!
Btw ... sorry to hijack here but is there anything out there (slider wise) that somehow fits to the front axle? Haven't seen anything, is it because it's a solid axle so nothing can go through it?
