These are the ones I want to get. Not too bad on price plus you can get good colors. http://www.surfsidemoto.com/store/product/LSLK.html

knee draggers
cycle gear, cause if you dont like you have the option to return for another set...

I wouldnt go cheap...I had a cheap set and totally screwed up my plastic and motor cases when I went down...They offered little to NO protection..

Also remember that if you read the disclaimers on some of the sliders, they say that they do not protect in high speed layovers. Basically they are there to help protect the bike if it falls over or a very low speed layover. Get the better ones if you want the more protection.

The puck style are supposed to be the best ones.

Frame sliders are not made to protect case covers and plastics, they are made to protect the frame and help slow the bike down should you go down. The metal ones are nice but they will not catch the surface as well as the plastic ones so. Woodcraft makes a really good frame slider and the pucks can be changed without removing the slider base.

Shogun. I think I purchased this latest set off of ebay, but you can find them anywhere. I tested them out one time and they worked great!
