I have been searching for sliders for my '02 FZ1. I'd rather not have my beetle's do all the work in the event of a slide. The best I have found on-line or at the Yamaha shop are for '05s and newer.
Sliders for a '02 FZ1?

I use t-rex sliders. I got mine from ebay. They just put a new listing out in the past couple of days. They work very well and for the price you can't beat them.

I JUST found there website. Only $28 instead of $70-$80 and up for newer bikes that I've seen. What is your opinion of the quality? And, how did you install yours?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Crash tested and approved! I've never used any other kind and have never had a reason to look at the more expensive ones.
I used the upper motor mount per the directions. Oddly (or rightly) the price as increased by $3 to $5 since I purchased my first set a few years ago.
I had a minor getoff back in January. The slider did it's job!
Replaced it with the same kind
and took the sticker off. The new ones look like they might not have the sticker on them.

Forgot to ask, have you thought of getting their front axle sliders?
I did but I will be doing the r1 front end conversion by the end of the year so I'm going to wait until after i get the new front end to make a final decision about axle sliders.

No Axle Sliders
I believe I am correct when I say that they do not offer axle sliders for Gen 1 machines.
I would be more than pleased to be proven incorrect.

FZ1 Gen 1 Axle Slider
I emailed T-Rex and asked "why" no axle sliders for Gen 1 FZ1 and I believe they will have something to offer within 6 to 8 weeks.
Check out their website starting "about" mid-September.
I'll buy them as soon as they list them.

Does anyone using these have the full fairing? Just wondering if they will work with the full fairing before I buy some and they not bolt on with the fairing.

I think you'll have to modify the fairings in order to get frame sliders to work on the Gen I bikes.

Ohh, yeah , ,
Yes . . . here are some pics of my Gen-I. The T-Rex's look awesome on her. I like to use a dual 'slider' set-up for even more tip-over protection. Just remember that by securing them to the lower fairing bracket they will NOT be as strong protection-wise. The thinner bracket will likely fold under if you crash going forward.
They will even work as forward foot-rests too. Great for old guys like me, that need to stretch out occasionally.
