Thanks for the video and producing parts for the R7. An important question. If you simply dropped the bike at standstill with these sliders, would the fairing touch the ground and get scratched? Thanks.
Saving the fairings is not really the goal of our crash protection components because the tradeoff is that in higher speed crashes there is more risk of flipping the bike over with longer sliders. We aim to reduce the risk of damaging the major components of the bike through the use of our crash protection parts. Fairings are superficial and consumable. To answer your question a bit more precisely, in a standstill tip over, the left side fairings will most likely not make contact with anything. Maybe a small patch of the lower could potentially make contact. On the right side, the lower fairing covering the water pump area will very likely make contact.
How about I tell you how I have done it many times, and then you assume the risk if you want to. Early on im my wrenching on bikes career, I did things in a very minimal way in a very c=small garage in New Jersey. Most of the frame slider installations involved doing one at a time but with the bike on the kickstand. The bikes I worked were all faired so this also involved cutting holes through fairings to make clearance. Most of the time I was able to maintain engine placement in the frame without any issues. But once in a while some bikes would just sag the motor even if only one mount was unbolted. So I only had to realign when the drooped. Other than that smooth sailing. The decision rests with you. If the motor sags, you have to align it before getting the threads started. Only you can decide if you are able to tolerate the risk. -BR
We never do that. The torque that you exert on the fasteners, along with the fastener size translating to a large amount of bolt to motor contact surface area keeps the bolts from listening from vibration.
Every crash is completely different so we cannot state for certain this would protect your signals. Frame sliders are meant to minimize the damage taken on in the event of an accident.
I am having trouble removing the first initial bolt. Would u recommend using a breaker bar?

Can I get a link or name of the torque wrench you use? Thanks!
Is it fine to install the frame sliders without supporting the engine with a jack of sorts?
Thanks!

Would you recommend using blue Loctite (non permanent) on the frame bolts?
We never do that. The torque that you exert on the fasteners, along with the fastener size translating to a large amount of bolt to motor contact surface area keeps the bolts from listening from vibration.
will this slider protect the stock front turn signals also???
Every crash is completely different so we cannot state for certain this would protect your signals. Frame sliders are meant to minimize the damage taken on in the event of an accident.
Are these frame slider kit compatible with the 2022 Yamaha mt07?
Yes, but please view the video made on the MT07 for more detail pertaining to the installation on that bike.
Thanks
You're welcome
@@TSTindustries keep bringing us r7 content it's extremely useful
@@centralcal6604 we are about to go through the chassis of our race R7 and do some track videos. Maybe those will be of interest to you
@@TSTindustries 😱🙌
One side rotates and the other doesn’t, does that matter?
That does not matter.
bellissimaaaa 😮
Might be an unpopular opinion and slightly picky but I don’t like how the spacer is plain metal and it can be seen protruding from the frame.
I live in Japan. Can I buy it?
If I can buy it, please tell me the shipping cost to Saitama Japan.
Second...
But damn! What a bike
Third….
I want that
First!
38 ft lbs? the manual says 55 ft lbs 😮
The engineers at Womet Tech prescribed 52 Nm in their technical papers, so we just translated that to pound feet
