crash bars or frame sliders? was created by 77KZ650
Has anyone tried mounting frame sliders like the new sport bikes use or is everyone still using crash bars to protect their cases?

i prefer the keep the bike upright method myself

but the bars are stronger than sliders and our bikes dont have the holes for the sliders

haha, yeah I prefer to keep the rubber on the pave, at least the rear :woohoo: , but just incase, I would like the protection. I realy dont like the look of crash bars, and Im sure I can mount the sliders on it somewhere, it has enough other mods that "shouldn't" be there:evil:

check out the frame sliders available for the zrx1100/1200. I doubt they are direct bolt ons, but their placement and the way they mount could likely be adapted to an older KZ. The ZRX has a simialar type of motor mount and round tube frame. You'd have to adapt something yourself though, I don't think anyone makes a kit for bikes as old as our beloved KZs.
