Anyone tried these frame sliders?

You ride to slow to CRASH Gary

I'm still young, and learning Rich, but old enough to feel the pain

If you crack your case in a crash on the road you can't pick up your bike, brush yourslef off and ride home (didn't elaborate in the last post).

Same here!

Have LSLs on my bike. Did a small crash at Cayuga track last season.

The slider took the brunt, then snapped off, but nothing got wrecked. Just popped the turn signal back on, cleaned her up, and I was back out again.

Ordered my replacements from Tony at BSR.

Thanks for the input guys. I didnt know that the frame sliders were there to protect the engine etc..my purpose for wanting them was so that if I make the noob mistake of dropping it at standstill / <10km/hr, the cosmetic damage to the fairings would be minimized. I've decided to go for the cheap ones (see first post), because since it is a Ninja 250r, everyone tells me I will want to upgrade to something more powerful soon, so I don't want to dump too much money into it. After spending thousands on the bike/gear/insurance..I'm trying my best to get this thing on the road on a budget. I'll post a review of the build quality of the eBay frame sliders once I get them.
