existent. As a result, I'll do my best to include such details in this review. Please see the images I've attached to see how the product will appear when it arrives. br>br>These are designed for specific bikes, not all bikes. These will fit any SV650 from the second generation, which means they will fit any model from 2003 to the present. SV650s or SV650n without modifications from 2008. The full fairing bikes will require a hole to be cut in the fairing on each side. br>br>The cone-style bikes will require a hole to be cut in the fairing on each side. The shaped spacer is anodized black rather than the raw silver finish shown in the Amazon ad. Bolts with a diameter of 10mm and a length of 12mm are included in the package. 9 grade. Initial thoughts: br>br> They appear to be well-designed and machined, and they have a strong feel to them. They were a perfect match for our 2005 SV650s. I'm hoping we'll never have to put these to the test, but if we do, I'll be sure to let you know how well they held up and protected the bike. br>br>Installation: If you look at the side of the bike, you'll notice three bolts on the frame that these could fit into. The bolts are arranged in the shape of a "V. " On each side, use the most forward bolt, the shorter puck with the cone-shaped hole. On the left side, use a small amount of blue Loctite (242 or 243) on the threads of the bolts, along with the shorter bolt. On the right side, use the longer puck and longer bolt. I'm not sure what the torque specs are for these bolts, so I just tightened them up really tight. That's all I have to say on the subject.

I used to own a Suzuki SV650, but I sold it and replaced it with a Ninja ZX6R. Because the hardware was compatible with that bike, I installed it. The frame slider saved the plastic body work when the bike was dropped at 30 mph. Although the stator cover was scratched, the bike was well protected by the frame sliders. The plastic shaved down as it should have, and the hardware did not break or bend.

I haven't had the opportunity (and don't intend to) to put these to the test, but they appear to be adequate. One star deducted for the lack of installation instructions and the overall quality of the product. Essentially, these are 3D printed plastics (presumably abs). I was hoping for a more polished appearance rather than ridges in the plastic (which look great from a distance). In terms of installation, Shogun provides sufficient instructions (the shorter puck with the spacer goes on the left with the shorter bolt if you're sitting on the bike). The torque specification is one area where Shogun falls short. "Torque to OEM specifications. OEM specifications, on the other hand, can be hard to come by. Torquing to 40 lb-ft was the final result. ft, according to a service manual for a second-generation 03-generation vehicle. Because the bolts you'll be replacing are the ones closest to the engine, you don't want to "tighten really tight. " I used a little red loctite, but the torque spec exceeds red loctite's break torque, so you should be fine without it (the stock bolts didn't appear to have any). Some people have also mentioned using these as footrests. I'm not sure how putting your knees into your chest feels good, but don't do it.

I was initially perplexed by the slider puck, but I eventually figured it out. This is my second set; the first one did an excellent job of protecting my bike. I had a small scuff on my mirror that I buffed out, snapped my left peg, left shifter, left bar end, left clutch, and it scraped my left frame slider grinding it down when I laid my bike down at about 35 MPH. Only about $150 to restore her to 99% new condition cost about $150 to restore her to 99% new condition cost about $150 to restore her%.

There were no issues with bolting it on. I only wish that the old ones were as simple to remove. After having to remove them with a hacksaw, I'm definitely going with plastic or open ended sliders, as the old aluminum ones (not Shogun) bent over and left a dent in my frame. These are made of UHMW plastic (Google it), which is incredibly tough, but given that they're plastic, I don't think they'll cause any frame damage.

It was easy to put together and exactly what I needed to protect the frame on my SV.

The 2007 SV650 naked is a perfect fit. On all of my MCs, I've always used Shogun! All five times I've laid a bike down, it's never let me down. They also make your bike look better!.

On my 2009 Suzuki SV650S, it was a perfect fit. I've taken off the fairings, so I can't comment on how well they fit or how well they were installed. I've also never put them through a crash/drop test (and I hope I never will). I think they're sturdy enough and made of good material; if there are any issues, I'll update the review.
