Introducing the XKH Motorcycle Extended Frame Sliders, designed specifically for the 2004 to 2012 Yamaha FZ-6 and FZ-6S models. These frame sliders are an essential addition for any motorcycle enthusiast looking to safeguard their bike against potential damage. Made from high-quality Delrin material, these sliders not only offer protection but also enhance the overall aesthetics of your motorcycle.

One of the standout features of these frame sliders is their extended design. Measuring one inch longer than the original sliders, they provide added coverage for your bike’s frame, engine cases, and bodywork. This extended length plays a crucial role in minimizing repair costs in the event of a fall or accident.

The XKH frame sliders come in a sleek black color that matches seamlessly with the bike’s design, ensuring that while your motorcycle is protected, it also looks good on the road. Each set includes a pair of frame sliders (left and right) which are brand new and have never been used.

These sliders are not only about aesthetics; they are meticulously crafted to protect your investment. It’s important to note that while frame sliders are designed to absorb impact, they are not intended to protect the plastics, clip-ons, or rearsets of your motorcycle. However, they can provide some assistance in certain situations.

It is critical to understand how frame sliders operate during a crash. Ideally, you want the Delrin or plastic material to contact the ground first, allowing it to grind down rather than catch on obstacles, which could lead to flipping the bike. If your frame slider shatters, bends, or grinds off during an impact, it has performed its intended function by absorbing energy and minimizing damage to your frame or mounting points.

Additionally, if the bolt on a frame slider bends, that is a positive outcome, as it indicates that energy was redirected away from the frame itself. It’s essential for the slider to remain attached but to also show signs of wear after a crash—this indicates that it has taken the impact energy effectively. A damaged slider, yet still intact on the bike, shows that it has done its job, providing the necessary protection you need.

It’s also worth mentioning that non-cut frame sliders typically require a bracket for installation, unlike their cut counterparts, which are designed for direct mounting. This feature is crucial for ensuring a secure fit on your Yamaha FZ-6 or FZ-6S.

In conclusion, the XKH Motorcycle Extended Frame Sliders are an excellent investment for any rider seeking to protect their motorcycle. With their extended length, durable Delrin material, and sleek black finish, they offer both functionality and style. Ensure your bike is equipped with these essential protectors, and ride with confidence knowing you have taken steps to safeguard your machine.
