The stick on frame pucks saved my frame when I dropped maneuvering it to park.I haven't crashed on a motorcycle since I was a teen.I'm thinking about doing track days on my XB9SX and wanted more protection,just in case.Can I just drain the gas and have the mount points welded? Or do I need to disconnect the battery so I don't damage the electronics due to the surge of electric volts from the TIG welder? I hate to dismantle the complete bike.If I disconnect the battery,do I need the bike computer be reset?

I would be carfull with the LSL frame sliders, I have heard horror stories about them braking off and taking the front motor mount along with it and causing more damage then if you didnt have them at all

I already have the axle mounted sliders.I'm trying to figure out how to mount a frame mounted slider for more protection.
