Frame sliders/Crash bars


Recommended Posts

I am going to put the same ones I had on my FZ09 on the FJ09.
They are from T-Rex, have an upper aluminum bar that spans between the two engine bolts, and have a large slider puck on both sides, and then also case protectors made from delrin or some other type of plastic that bolt on over the cases to protect them.
 
Also have bobbins and axle sliders front and rear.
 
Mine say FZ09 on them, but I see T-Rex is now selling them with the FJ09 logo cut into the side pucks.

i'm looking for crash bars proper. anyone has em on the FJ yet?
I installed LSL frame sliders. They are solid aluminum and well made, but don't seem popular on this on this forum.

I have the OES sliders and they do work as a highway foot rest on longer rides. As far as drop protection goes, my bike was recently knock over onto its left side in a parking lot by a careless driver. The OES frame slider never touched the ground. The left hand guard and left engine cover over the stator hit the ground and took all the abuse. The left front axle slider got a little scuffed also. After I get the stator cover replaced I'll be installing engine case covers or case sliders. I'll still retain the OES frame sliders for added protection in case of a crash at speed and also as my highway foot rests!

Looking at OES site and they list sliders for the FZ but not the FJ
I'm confident they fit both.  I don't believe they've taken the time to re-label the webpage yet.  If you look at the Shogun and the Graves slider websites they have re-labeled as fitting both.  They use the same mounting points.

What I'm not positive about (though I believe it's most likely true) is whether the OES fork sliders and swingarm sliders fit the same on the FJ as the FZ-09.  Can anyone confirm this?

I got the T-Rex stuff. It looks great, should offer great protection, and it was definitely convenient and economical. (The only caveat: the shop that installed it for me said that one of the bolts was the wrong length...)

I emails OES before buying mine and they said FZ and FJ were the same ones. I bought mine on eBay as listed for a FZ09, works just fine on the FJ09

I have the SW Motech crash bars, and love them. You can prop your feet on them if you wish, hang foot pegs off them if you want to, and hang lights off of them like I did. Others say they are expensive, I say they are cheap insurance.....and they look great. Got the lights from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HA14OK4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 and the mounting brackets also http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TXS0SS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00 . The switch is from Amazon also http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TXS0SS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00 .Have fun!

Btw..what horn is that?
A twisted Throttle item http://www.twistedthrottle.com/denali-soundbomb-split-dual-tone-air-horn the Denali Soundbomb Split Dual Tone Air Horn. I think I detailed the installation previously. I think if you click on my user name it will take you over to my address here on the forum, and from there you can click on "threads" or "posts" to look it up if you are interested. It will definitely wake the cage zombies.
