R&G Classic Style Upper Frame Sliders for KTM Super Duke 990 SMR, 990 ’05-’12, 990 SMT ’08-’13

I’ll give these the same review I’ve given most other slider reviews. Along with a good lock, these sliders are the next best way to replace (or supplant) insurance. A month ago, I wrecked my Superduke 990 (anther cager on a cellphone!), and though the bike slid 78-feet according to the cop with the tape, other than the usual broken bar-end mirror, damaged bar-end, shaved brake pedal and scratched shorty brake lever, the only other damage I suffered were my two sets of frame sliders being scored down, the low one to the nub. Instead of an otherwise total write-off of $6000 worth of bike, all it cost to restore my bike to pre-crash status was about a couple hundred bucks — including the slider puck replacements.
