Are fork sliders necessary on S model Buells with their handle bars. Looking to protect my bike in case of a get-off during track days. I have the frame pucks and plan on getting bar sliders and swing arm sliders. It doesn't look as though the fork should be in danger.

Decide for yourself.

Very cheap insurance. $70 for a pair of front and rear, hell of a lot cheaper than new forks and a swing arm.

Seen pictures of messed up forks and swing arms. It's a small investment I have them.

and if the bike does slide I don't think the handle bars will help much. I got mine at Dark Horse Moto to. nice fit and finish.

The Sato ones are garbage, they were on my bike when i bought it. Cheap Chinese knock offs! Couldn't even get them off my bike for a tire change, had to cut them off.
