Shogun USA Made Yam FZ6R FZ6 R 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 RACE KIT CUT Black Frame Sliders – 750-6379

Shogun clearly marks this as a “Cut” kit. If you want the no-cut kit with bracket, you’re looking for part #750-6369. If you want a non-moronic review of these sliders, read on-==Installation==It’s a bit annoying that Shogun doesn’t provide instructions in the packaging. It’s even more annoying that the link they provide to download the instructions doesn’t work anymore. It’s downright aggravating that once you do manage to dig up the instructions from a forum somewhere, that they aren’t very helpful. Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend installing this yourself unless you are confident with your skills in the workshop.I ended up drilling a hole in the fairing in the rough vicinity of the bolt, screwing the slider in as best I could, then tracing around the slider with a sharpie. I used a dremel to rough-cut the hole, then switched to a drum sander to clean things up. Be patient and use a steady hand. You only get one shot at this.There are two different locations where you could feasibly mount the frame sliders. I chose the holes towards the rear, which meant that I didn’t so much as bore out a hole in the fairings as I just notched some out of the edge.==Performance==My FZ6R is my daily beater bike. I try to keep it clean and pretty, but as a commuter that gets parked in a high-crime area, it tends to get vandalized and abused quite frequently. That’s why I wasn’t afraid to use it to teach my friend how to ride this weekend. After three hours of riding drills in an open parking lot, the tally was two drops, one on each side at roughly walking speed.The sliders worked perfectly. The only damage to the bike (besides the ends of these sliders) was to my bar-ends. The fairings and engine covers remained untouched. The damage to the sliders themselves is entirely aesthetic.——————–As far as quality goes, you can’t argue with Shogun. They’ve been the benchmark of frame sliders for quite a while, and you really can’t go wrong. I was going to deduct a star because of the issues noted above with the installation instructions, but the low price and high quality of the kit more than makes up for it.
