Dumb question? /Framesliders
I hope I should never need em' but:
Do they make frame sliders for the S. Just curious. (Mr. Foster?) Thanx.

there is an aftermarket cover that is most seen on GS bikes that does a better job of cover the heads and then there is the replica carbon fiber covers with metal inserts for severe lean angles, but at $500 a piece, thats $1000 for the pair...it would be cheaper to not buy anything and if you have a spill, just buy a new valve cover if the bike didnt sustain any major damage besides the cover. repoe3

My 40 MPH getoff on the RT broke off the plastic guards but barely scraped the heads. I guess by the time the guard broke off, the bike was happily summersalting through the grass. When all was said and done, the cylinder heads on the RT still look better than the one's on my still functioning S.
BTW: I am up to 5 days in a row without wrecking a bike or a car... ![]()

Well this is off topic, but...
I was working at Ft. Knox for a bit on a project. On the way out was one of those signs. Number of days since last accident. Theirs said (I am not making this up) "NUMBER OF DAYS SINCE LAST FATAL ACCIDENT ". The count was running around 200 days until one evening we saw it go back to 1. Tough place to work I guess.

all those people trying to steal the gold. knox happens to be my birthplace, grew up crawling all over tanks and what not.
i think they were trying to make a point with the fatal accidents and have people drive slower. considering the post's speed limit is around 35MPH or (mostly) slower, hard to imagine fatal accidents on the post. repoe3

The question is probably not so much do they make them for the S, but rather where would you bolt them on?
