I know a lot of people have asked how the R&G frame sliders hold up doing a 'crash'. I found out today. 
I installed them earlier today after having them sitting around for a month. Decided to wash, wax and clean my bike since it stopped raining. Installed them as well as I did a bit of maintenance. Well, the instructions suck. I had to figure them out on my own.
Afterwards I went for a ride... Long story short someone tried to hit me head on in a corner at 30mph... I swerved and started to go straight while breaking, but couldn't stop before the shoulder and ended up sliding into the shoulder/grass about 10-15 feet.
Got up, lifted the bike off me to find the car wasn't there... Great, damage is me or my insurance. Lifted it up and found my pants got ripped a bit.

Found my bike like this:

Well, the frame sliders did their job. But the ugly.. The bolt holding the slider in bent to a 90 degree and ended up causing the top fairing to get a deep scratch:

The mirror had an extender so it just bent back and I didn't have to replace it. It didn't look as bad as I thought it would. But my pipe got scratched.

I'm okay, need to patch my gear... Everything is fine except I had to order a new puck from Ninja650 shop for $50, but it saved me a lot more. I bought some stuff called Scratch X 2.0 (http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G10307-Scratch-X-2-0/dp/B0002UNON8) which got all the scratches out except for the deep one that scratched the paint. I guess that is what Color Rite is for.
After everything is said and done, the only damage I have is a non-noticeable pipe scratch and this scratch which is left and you can't even tell unless you LOOK.

All in all, the frame sliders are pricey, but they are worth it.
