Fender Eliminator
Flushie front turn signals

Clutch sliders? Do you mean engine case savers? I've never heard of clutch sliders.

[neebelung]

Nope, they're clutch sliders. I believe they're from Graves.

R1 Clutch Slider

The main purpose of the clutch slider is to protect the clutch linkage. Not to protect the engine cases. They actually make case savers for the R1 and they are totally different.

If you look at the pic, you can see how the clutch saver works. See where the clutch cable goes into the case. If you notice, there is a small cover from the factory to protect the clutch linkage. In the R1, that oem cover isn't actually that strong. A few people have had problems in low speed tip overs with the clutch linkage breaking off due to the cover snapping. So Graves and a few other companies came up with the clutch slider to help protect the clutch linkage. It's cheap insurance. I've never heard of any issues on the R1 forum with anyone having problems using the rear brakes due to the slider being in the way.

They look like regular frame sliders but are lower and protect the case covers. They are case covers, someone just named them clutch instead.

Most Case Savers I've seen are Made from Billet and look nothing like a Frame Slider...

But it doesnt really matter...There all doing the same shit with trying to protect the bike Incase it ever goes down.

The Clutch sliders are mounted on the frame, one on each side, and are generally used in addition to normal frame sliders, gives twice the protection. If you toss a set of swingarm spool sliders and axle sliders on that bad-boy she's as protected as she'll ever get without a crash cage.
