Yes, only from America, but they are the best

Have a look at their site, as it shows where they mount on the Pointy

No sure, but you might get an Org discount there

Here you go, heres the EBAY site for motosliders. Only $69 so cheaper than R&G at £83
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SV650...Q5fAccessories

But here's blairs org page, drop him an email and he'll say if he gives discounts to orgers

I remember paying about £70 for my R&Gs at the NEC motorshow a couple of years ago, should be able to pick some up for around that price.

No idea what the motosliders are like personally!

You take out the main bar that runs straight through the engine. The motosliders are attached over a replacement bar that goes back where you took the original from. Motosliders will not bend when you fall off. The best person to buy them from is Blair at svracingparts on ebay. You will get them within a week from the US, and as a set with the swingarm bobbins will set you back something much cheaper and better than the R&G equivalent


Yes they do work in a crash,,,,I've tested them ;-)

Not mine either, but I crashed on this side too, and got pretty much the same result. Got a cracked fairing instead of a completely mangled one, and the toe off the gear lever popped off, luckily I had a DavieSV fixer Peg so the bike was completely rideable again.

If you've got lowers, I hear that you need a bit of slicing to fit motosliders on.
