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.
 
the nicest part of your post is that you are safe and able to tell it !

cream on the cake is costless repairs on your bike,

thanks for being first to test ;-)

kind regards
 
For whatever it's worth, BMW don't seem to like to use parts called 'bungs', 'sliders', 'bobbins', etc. Conjures up the wrong image I guess. They call the bits 'Impact Protectors'. Hmmm, 50% bad and 50% glad.
