Default frame protectors on gsxr750

just ordered a shinny new gsxr750 k7 and wondered if its possible to fit crash protectors without drilling/cutting the fairing one one side to fit them?

Default sliders

Absolutely. There are some frame sliders that require no cutting. I have the same bike. Its been a while but I think the name is either revotec or evotec but any decent bike shop should have them for about 100 to 150.

Try performance auto parts, automotive accessories, turbo charged engine, www.ToBeFast.com I have ordered a ton of items there for my bike. You should have no problem finding a set of frame sliders that don't require anything more than taking off a bolt, putting the slider on, then putting in the new bolt.

also may try 58cycle | Motorcycle Performance Parts & Accessories

If I can make a recomendation on buying frame sliders:
1) Dont buy cheap
2) Dont buy metal

You dont want to skimp out on money for these things, they will protect your fairings in a crash. On the other hand, and this sounds odd I know, you dont want metal frame sliders, buy carbon fiber or a strong plastic one, the reason is that when the bike goes down the frame sliders will protect it, but if you hit gravel or dirt one of two things will happen, if you have metal frame sliders your going the bend the crap out of your frame and tear up the fairings, if you have some plastic or carbon fiber ones they will snap off as soon as you hit gravel/dirt/grass and then you are just out a fairing, the bike itself is just fine.

Just my 2 cents, but it was a lesson learned when I downed my bike. I was pissed about the dead left fairing, but it could have been worse, a new bike was 2-3 grand, a new fairing was 50 bucks off eBay

As you found out most definately. They can make all parts that require no cutting.

I just bought EVOTECH street defender- italian, very hight quality sliders. no cutting /for my other gixxer- 750 07/. Highly recommend them / if you can find them/. I bought mine from e-bay. I looked on internet but I found mostly european sites where you can buy them.
