hey guys, I am thinking of purchasing some sliders (frame, clutch, fork) after a near miss when a car was 3/4 into my lane while i was making a right hand turn (due to a parked car on his side and probably a lil stupidity) and i hit the rear brake a little to hard causing the back end to lock up and slide out, luckily i was able to pop the bike back up and gain control.
$10 more gets you the bar ends too, check out their store.
As for your questions, it's going to matter more *how* the bike is laid down. In some situations they might come in handy. Either way, it IS cheap insurance.
