just of note as far as slider/TOGs go -- it all depends on the circumstances... see numerous other posts that Skyway sliders were beneficial.

I 'tested' Skyway's sliders during our ride to WFO5.
Those are pictures of my bike above, by the way.
I did a full lock, stall out drop - no forward movement.
The only parts that contacted the asphalt were:
Slider (left side, bottom edge)
Bag - (left side, bottom edge)
If you didn't know to look for the damage, you would not know it was there.
Granted, if you're going to drop your bike, the way I did it is optimum.
While at WFO5, I saw an 06A that had been dropped on the right side, with Yamaha sliders - as those sliders are shorter/smaller, and the bike had rotated on the slider - so the upper part of the bike (mirror, tupperware, bag) all contacted and were scratched, and IMHO, did not benefit the bike in any way. Had that bike been wearing Skyway sliders, the damage would be minimal.
