    If i understand the construction of this slider, there is no main bolt that goes through the engine housing. It only is fixed onto the frame via the metal brackets. How strong they are is what even I am curious to know. In a crash it might survive and protect the fairings but on the other hand, it might disintegrate and even crack the fairing.

    There is a member on team bhp with the ID - balenopower. He has a black ninja and just got these sliders. Try sending him a PM for more info.
    frame slider protects the frame and no so much the fairings!!

          Awesome dude. Congrats. Best part is you saved close to 40k on the bike. Here in blore the ninja costs around 3.2 Lacs on road.

          Why are you looking for a mechanic for the ninja. Isnt there a Bajaj service station which is equipped to service the ninja in your city?

          Frame sliders also protect the fairings in the event of a fall. Most of them are installed to protect these fiber/plastic bits.

          I've not heard of fairing sliders though.

                  Nice to see you here as well dude.

                  Could you please let us know how these were installed on the bike? I mean is there a bolt that goes through the engine mount or so or is it just bolted to the frame?

                  Well you gotta complain to Bajaj. Your manual has a customer service number. Call them and see what happens.

                  I had a minor issue during one of my visits and the manager of the Probiking center was pretty responsive when i complained.

                        frankly speaking i did not see the guy fix it, by the time i gave it to him and left to get a bottle of water, the fairing was already open. and there was less space so cudnt really go in and see what was happening. Cost me 6k.

                            I got these installed last Saturday. The brackets are attached to the body using two bolts that are actually engine mount points. Existing bolts used for mounting the engine are replaced with a slightly longer one to attach the bracket. Quality of the hardware is good. And the installation is clean. You can easily remove the slider ( if you don't like it ) later without opening the fairing.

                            I think it will withstand small falls. Not sure about a high speed crash.

                            The fitting should be done by a professional with good tools, with bike on a proper stand. Also good idea to support the engine from bottom, when removing bolts.
