So for those of you saying you have them, which are the ones to buy? For a faired pointy and for a curvy. And where do you buy them from?
I searched for the MotoSliders on google and eBay for my faired pointy '61 reg, and can only find them in the U.S.($139.99+$42.00 p+p) £89.35 and £26.85 p+p to UK.
Is there no Uk supplier to buy from?

Don't think there is, we get ours from Motosliders themselves in the States.

YOu won't find motosliders on Ebay, advertised as such....they're called engine or frame sliders....hang ona mo.....

These are the correct ones.

There are too many different ones on there, but I know for sure from experience that these are right, having bought at least two sets and spares as well as swingarm bobbins from this person. You can get a special price if you buy them as a set.

Might be showing my naivety here but don't crash bungs only really save the engine casing? (I say 'only' - you know what I mean!)

Can't see how they'd save mirrors and indicators, unless they stuck about a foot out at each side?

Worth their weight in gold.

I dropped my bike once, exhaust side, nothing got scratched except the end of the crash bung. Could have been expensive otherwise.

Crashed it big time a week later though, er, oops...

Not much the crash bungs could have done about my new found interest in examining fields at 70mph.

I've looked for these elsewhere also but I'm at a loss as to wether they would fit the Gladius, any ideas short of contacting the supplier (which I will if no-one else knows).

Scratch that, I was typing gladius fame sliders DOH! Sorry.

Can't even blame the keyboard.
I'll blame the cider instead
