Dropped the bike today.

the parking lot at my school is shell and stone. put my foot down today and it slid so i dropped the bike. Those with flush mount indicators, what brand do you use? and frame sliders to prevent silly damage, which ones do you use?

I'm just so full of annoying questions....

Unlucky mate, hope its not too badly damaged apparently everyone drops it at somepoint.

Motosliders have had good things said about them - & they're in the US.


Hope there weren't too many witnesses.....

Flushmount are trick, but next to invisible - really think about this before making your choice.

I believe Moto-Sliders are usually the recommended ones - and as they are made in the US (we brits have to import them) should be cheaper than using the more readily available over-here R&Gs

are vortex frame sliders any good? I smashed my right side indicator so i need something, i was figuring flush mounts would work as I am at it haha

Never heard of them - you have a link to them?

As I say, flush-mounts will work, but they have a rather narrow field of visibility - and I personally have a set of flush mounts sitting on a shelf that I bought, fitted and then removed before I even took the bike out on the road.

I have something similar to these on my SV - they still stick out, but not as far as the standard ones.

with front indicators I am less concerned then the rears. I know what the idiots ahead of me are doing so its ok if they dont know what i'm up to haha

You can get Motosliders direct from svrider.com i think, Blair has a thread there somewhere. O.O They ain't the prettiest but they're tried and tested. Those Vortex ones look good but i dunno if they do the job?

Rear indies are important because ****s like to... **** you up the rear.

true that, I put some really nice LED Shock racing indicators on the front, I'll put a pic up later tonight. way brighter and they look better too
