I have the cheapest sliders on the market. Slightly less than $50 delivered to your door. Check ebay for your 2007.
Black Delrin disappears visually on the bike. Aluminum blingie (expensive ones) look like farkles and that may be some of their value. It's all up to you.
On the other hand, I just want them to do their job when and if it happens. LONG sliders increase the 'torque arm' used against the slider and its bolt, so longish ones tend to snap off long before shorter ones grind off. (At least that's what I've seen in several years of roadracing.)
So, to sum up, blingie ones are blingie and do their job. Cheapies have no bling but do their job. I see guys on here being cost conscious with stuff that shows, and not being cost conscious with stuff that doesn't need to show..... so you gotta decide what you want from your sliders. The basic fact is that they all work.
