Quality always preferred, which would you recommend?
I prefer the ones that you don't have to cut the fairings but can't seem to find any.
any suggestions on where i could get some?
I refuse to cut my fairings. There are tons of no cut sliders available that are very good quality. I have motovation sliders.
where can i get those?
you'll want to cut a 2"+ 1/8 hole, but ive been using a 2-1/4 inch hole saw to do cut flaring holes.
there are tons of techniques you can use to get the centre of the hole just right.
I'd suggest taping any painted surfaces

+1. I got mine direct from motovation.
are these the ones you guys recommend?
and Just to clarify it says the cost price is $128 each, does that mean each set or each side? just want to make sure...
Thanks for all your help, I do appreciate it.

No cutting required - LSL, or Motovation.
I've crash tested the LSL, and trust me, they do work

I don't know, those ones look kind of funny and doesn't look like they're as tough as the Motovation ones.
I am of the opposite thought camp.
A frame slider is strongest if bolted directly to the frame, not on some triangulated bracket 6" from the frame or motor mounts.
Plastic is plastic, and I don't really care if it has to be cut. Just do a nice job, glue on a trim ring around the hole (the ones for running computer wires thru an office desk leave a very nice finish and are a perfect fit around frame sliders), and leave the sliders on, even when you sell it. As long as the hole has a slider in it, no one will dislike the looks of the hole.
See link to my buddy's install pic: It looks like Honda installed them from the factory.
