The S frame sliders work very well, I unfortunately found this out the the hard way.
They're actually designed better than the average sportbike slider, since they break up on impact, absorbing the shock of the hit instead of your frame.
They're NOT designed to save plastic, just hardparts i.e frame, plumbing, etc under the fairing.
My left side slider cracked into a perfect 4 pieces, and there wasn't a scratch to any of my hard parts.
All I had to replace was a bar end, a fairing and bottom spoiler, and rear passenger peg.
Sucked, but it beats repalcing an engine cover, or a frame.
