no good, and ive tried everyone in the yellow pages.
So no one here has them or knows if they are available?
I cant believe they dont make them for my bike, every other brand and model sportsbike from 95 i can think of has them available.

I just searched high and low for you and came up with zilch.

Maybe you will have to try US eBay or an online International store. Maybe they don't even make them full stop.

Coupla Options
#1. I seen some Frame sliders that were on an Aluminium angled mount that could be placed along certain size frame pipe....
#2. Not sure of your Frame configuration but theres a hole through the frame on my old fzr6 and i'm going to put some crash nob bolts through there, even though no one sells any to fit it.
Hope this helps. Brett

theres a few holes in the frame, theres that black piece of tube that goes from the top to the bottom and has 2 bolts in each area.. i dunno what it does or whether it would be a good idea to mount oggys there.
Is it a good idea to frame mount them at all??

[MadHatter]

please elaborate on option 1 for me

[Nanna10r]

Trying to find option 1 atm still was a UK site they were Trianglular aluminiun about 3 inches long with the long side of the tringle strapped flat to the frame then a round Nob protuding outward at the outta most peak no luck yet but these may be a go if the link works .

I'm gonna makes some for the 7 on our new (1950's) lathe. If u like them, I'll make some for you guys.

[MadHatter]

im thinking about just buying some random ones and finding a good spot to place them.
Can anyone tell me where/where-not to place them?

Can you just place them in a random place? They would have to be welded/attatched to the frame somehow to actually work. I think just putting them in a random place might do more harm than good. But then again I could be wrong.

[Nanna10r]

Through the Engine mount seems to be the Best, preferred spot but i've seen fairing an Bracket mounted nobs. Trick is to get them on something strong that will take the bikes weight that wont bend anything important.
I'm sure I'd rather replace a fairing then a frame. Found about a dozen different types to fit 98 on. I Like the lite up units.
Hope this helps cheers Brett

[MadHatter]

simmo those are for 98 zx9r. not a 97.
There is no place to put them on th engine without butchering the fairing.
There is one interesting spot that i know nothing about, ill take a pic.

[MadHatter]

This is the place that has bolts.
What do you guys reckon would the frame bend if i put sliders there?
