Such with any parent, guardian, adult, you must learn to be sneaky.....That's all I've got to say about that.... ..

 

just ordered the swsliders so we'll see how they work out

 

Same here, got them from a guy that never installed them, then sold his hawk.....$50 plus shipping....not bad....

I like these since you don't have to cut the fairings.....

 

aw... you got them for a better price then me.. I ordered directly from them. oh well

 

At least they are cheaper than replacing scratched up and broken stuff on your bike......small price to pay....

 

Got them on, easy install....don't look as weird as I thought they would....could be the black rubber with the black paint, not very noticeable....

 

Oggy will ship to the US direct. Not sure how much they cost, got mine off ebay for a hundred bucks. Best investment yet, of course aside from changing those damn tensioners! They look cool and the Oggy thing printed on them always prompts conversation! They are frame sliders and mount easily with no clearance issues. They do come darn close to the knees and I would guess if you rear-ended the car in front of you they might cause damage to these body parts! Of course nobody that rides a vtr (at least not a yellow one) would ever be stupid enough to do such a dumb thing unless they were texting whilst driving....that would be a reasonable excuse...
