I agree I had those sliders and went down first thing hit the ground was handle bar then gas tank. the only thing they will protect is the frame. Went down on motosliders and they were first to hit the ground besides my pegs.What brand slider is that? I have seen them there. And cringed.
If that's your bike, order Nate's Motosliders, remove those pieces o' crap and put his in the correct place: the bolt that is just below and in front of where those are.
They are nice because they have the spools on them as well easier to use a rear stand IMO.
