Does anyone know what material he uses for the cushion and does he have a solution for the passenger seat as well? 
Look at page two of this post that piotrek put up about the materials. 

Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific.  What is the material used inside- not just the cover.  Is it a gel type, layered foam, memory, etc.

I am thinking about adding some sliders, but have never used them before.  How do you determine where to put them on a bike?  I see a lot of post with seemingly sliders everywhere...
 
Also, what makes a good slider?  I found these, and they are inexpensive, but are they too cheap?

Look at my deer strike at 74mph.  250 ft slide, 50 ft tumble.  No engine damage and just a little scratching, that is hardly noticeable.  Higdonian cage with skid plate.  I also had bar ends that stuck out as far as the OEM brush guards do.  They are made of SS and a good 1/2" was removed.  Sliders would not have faired as well in my opinion.  Sliders work good for drops and minor falls at parking lot speeds.

Scary.  Was the pic with you wrapped around a pole/post staged or did you end up like that?  May I ask how much it cost to repair the bike after that?

Why do you want to do this to your bike? 
Understanding this can help me give you good advice.

Good question.  Mostly to protect it in case of an "incident".  I don't drive it to hard, and by myself I doubt if I would ever have an accident; its the other guy/girl on the road.  And then there are animals- they don't seem to respect riders either ). 
I have kicked around the idea of mounting some additional lights, but not sure if I want to go there or not.  I have been riding one bike or another since 1982...
 

Hi All,
My first post and proud owner since fall of 2016. 
I am starting to detail out my bike and am trying to decide if I should install an engine cage or go the slider route.  Any thoughts, +/-, would be appreciated. 
Note: if advocating for sliders, how many and where would they be placed?
 
Thanks for your time and happy riding, summer is right around the corner!
