Welcome to the site! Where in Ontario are you from?
well the frame sliders unfortunatly dont help alot on z1000s, they are mainly for fully faired bikes so it doesnt break any of the expensive plastic bits. for the zed it might help stop the clutch cover from hitting but i wouldnt know and dont really want to know.that sucks to hear that you keep dropping your bike, i havent found any of the ministry courses hard in anyway and i have never dropped a bike out of the 5 ive had so maybe im not the best person to talk to about that subject. but for the 20 dollar investment when you know your probably gonna drop the bike isnt such a bad deal. if it stops your tank from hitting then that saves you almost a thousand bucks right there. i stand behind frame sliders one hundred percent! its worth it.Hi, im new here too. I'm from toronto area, ride a stock 08 Z1000. I see u have frame sliders, do they protect the clutch cover in case u drop the bike? I'm thinking about buying one for my 08 Zed, but i'm not sure if that's any solution cause that's the most sticking out part. I dropped mine twice while practicing serpentine for M1 road test luckily without damage. Used to ride 600cc suzuki before but not in Canada, i find the serpentine pretty tight for a bike like Z1000.
Nice bike by the way.
I can tell you from experience!! Unfortunately, I was hit twice on my 03 Z1K - once at a stop sign from behind by another motorcyclist, then side swiped on the freeway by a caged idiot.Hi, im new here too.
