Tst industries just dropped their new 22+ integrated tail light and tail tidy kits on Monday. Mine came in today and slapped them on. Transforms the back of the bike tremendously!
I read on a an FZ/MT forum that the front end sliders really dont help as that is not a contact point claimed by a dude that has crashed multiple times
My only issue with huge protectors like these they can catch anything and flip the bike . Happens quite a lot! Smaller slimmer longer sliders are better so that they don’t get caught and flip the bike. Just something I been through with my jokes thought I’d share.
Yeah, but I put them on for low speed stuff, or a drop in a parking lot, to protect the radiator and engine cases. If I go down at speed, the bike needs to get totaled out and replaced.
@@holybutterfly8495 Here is the reality of frame sliders... If you crash at anything more than 20mph on the road, your bike is gonna get banged up. Frame sliders and all the protection that we put on, really only prevent damage when you just drop or tip the bike over in the garage. I use the frame sliders to help protect the radiator and engine cases. They might still take damage, but if I can keep them from cracking or breaking, then I might be able to ride the bike home after a crash... Things like plastics, they do almost nothing for. Same with exhaust... The mufflers stick out too far and they are usually the first thing to take a hit and there isn't much you can do about it... You can spend $800 and add 15lbs of weight to your bike for every protection product available, but if you lowside on the road at 45mph, your bike is still gonna be all sorts of messed up...
I don't recall, but you can google it and look it up, it is the same as the engine mount bolt. It's not as high as you would expect though, I want to say it was in the ballpark of like 55 lbs/ft
its all the same. Piece of stamped aluminum or steel with some holes drilled into it. I looked at the j-tech and they are almost identical... If we were talking exhaust headers, then you want the higher end name brand that actually spent R&D time to make sure the flow is accurate, that it has positive harmonics to aid flow, etc... We are talking about a tag bracket here, hardly rocket science. haha

Glad that spacer that you had to reinstall on left side , didn't cause any thread issues.👍
Just bought the exact same mt10 as yours. Thanks for sharing these info, i will follow up :)
Evotech tail tidy is perfection. Just did GB covers today. They are bueno. love the bike

I just put them on more for dropping it at low speeds in a parking lot, or in the garage...

@@SquireSCAhey bro , frame slider will protect the exhaust too or not ?

@@SquireSCA oh okay thanks anyway. 😃
Question does you oes slider on the left side spin if you turn it?
It spends a tiny bit, but takes some force. I think its because of the spacers stacked together...
What’s the torque setting at?

70 NM (52 ft-lb) per manual.
Just get the j-tech tail tidy from UK, don't F with the other sh☆☆.
