Guest jonsey Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) I found these sliders online yesterday...anyone tried them yet? No drilling the reservoir! http://www.bikehps.com/acatalog/BikeHPS_On...r_Honda_19.html The VFR pic is fourth from the bottom.

Member Contributer jeremy556 Posted September 28, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted September 28, 2007 I think a couple members here have them, and at least 1 has tested them out and they did their job. They are incredibly expensive, and will be less effective than radar or r&g sliders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turgut kalfaoglu Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Done! My VFR 2008 now has the frame sliders - too bad I didn't do this before dropping the bike! Many thanks for these clear instructions, indeed the hardest part was the water bottle. I examined mine, and if the water bottle is OVER the "full" line, it DOES overflow when it gets hot. Therefore, I would caution anyone that wishes to install a smaller bottle. Btw, did anyone drop the bike after the frame sliders? What happens when it's simply dropped (and not skidded across), does the handlebar hit the ground? Does it break a lever? Does it break the mirrors - I already made Honda rich with my mirror and handlebar changes and their overpriced accessories thanks, -turgut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest terry6767 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I am just about to buy MV sliders - The price is almost 3 times cheaper then other sliders :thumbsup: but I am curious about what will happen if I drop the bike in my garage after I install the mv sliders? The sliders seems shorter then Rader's or R&Gs... I am wondering if the bottom part of fairing will hit the ground. How about the mirror? I happened to drop my bike a couple of months ago. :goofy: Fortunately, I got away with replacing a mirror and a couple of barely visible scratches. I am hoping that the MV sliders will prevent it if I ever drop my vfr again.. ( and I plan to keep my vfr for the next ten years :blink: ) I appreciate it if you can share your experience / thoughts Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuffed bar end, scuff on the edge of the mirror. (Prolly wouldn't have had that, if the mirrors weren't out so far). Few scuffs on the upper fairing. (Touched up).

Failsafe install and IMHO, a much more 'robust' mounting point. :thumbsup: If anything, the quality and design is to the level of almost overengineering.... but that's a GOOD thing! :joystick: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest drago52 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I've got my motovation sliders installed now and the process was pretty smooth. I used superglue for the bottle, then backed that up with silicon sealant. No leaks. I also used the method where you unscrew the bolt until it pressed on the inside of the fairing to find the center hole. Once I had drilled a pilot hole, I installed the fairing again and used the dremel tool to locate the true center. I was usually off by about 1/2 cm, but I got the holes drilled perfectly. Check it out. http://picasaweb.google.com/ryanhughes8/Mo...986623413118306 http://picasaweb.google.com/ryanhughes8/Mo...986633250953890 -Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turgut kalfaoglu Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 My water tank job was sub-par - I couldn't do it as cleanly as some of you have done. I used a section of a baby bottle (!) as the inner tube, but it cracked after a few months of use. So now I glued the expansion tank to the frame slider! It works so far, we'll see for how long.. Btw, is it my imagination or are the Motovations getting more and more expensive. It seems I paid $60, but they are now 78? -t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hexi Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks for taking the time to help, I really apprciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turgut kalfaoglu Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Um, what did you all use for the inner tube? I couldn't find anything that matched the diameter.. So I ended up padding the frameslider with duck tape, and gluing that into the hole of the expansion tank.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
