[QUOTE="pegscraper, post: 1384651, member: 692"] I bought the new 2017 Yamaha FJR ES and being the good and thoughtful owner I installed the FJR1300 Frame Sliders 1MC-F11D0-V0-00 ($440.00). I was a little doubtful after installing them because after taking all the plastic cowling off to get access to the attachment location and then reinstalling everything again, I placed the doubtful PLASTIC slider covers over the metal slider brackets. 6 months later, when washing the FJR, I needed to move it so the wife could back the car out the driveway so I needed to move the FJR to another spot. Where upon I started to place it on the center stand. My tennis shoes were wet and a little soapy, so my foot slipped off the center stand foot nub and in slow motion the FJR rolled onto its side, shattering the PLASTIC slider cover but protecting the side of the FJR from scratches, except for the mirror. The advice I can give here, is do not buy the Yamaha OEM Frame Sliders because you would need to buy the whole slider unit every time you have a tip over. The slider plastic cover will shatter every time. [/QUOTE]
