Verified fitFrame Slider Crash Protection Kit
Delrin sliders on steel mounts to protect frame and bodywork.

|---|---|

| Typical install time | 60 min |

Factory crash bars exist mainly on adventure and touring models and are well engineered but expensive.
Aftermarket kits cover sport and naked bikes the factory ignores, at a fraction of one bodywork panel.

At road speeds on tarmac they reduce damage. In a high-speed off into soft ground they can catch — which is why track bodies use short, no-cut sliders.
