Whatever ones you get you might have to use a dremel to notch out the plastic for the frameslider... just letting you know in advance

Sliders are all different, the nicer ones mount up so you don't have to cut your plastic...depending on the bike. Also, the length will matter a great deal...make sure to ask how long they are and check that they will clear your fairings, a lot of the ebay stuff is generic...

hey, didnt quite answer my question. I was wondering if the ones that say 99-04 cbr f4 or the ones that say 92-96 gsx, etc. will work or if they are for brand specific. reason i ask is because they all look exactly the same.

The bolts might be different sizes.

FRAME SLIDERS: The best afterthought ever to come into motorcycling

Buy ones specific for your bike or the F3 they're close enough to match up. You will have to cut your plastics to fit them though.

perfect, thanks for answering that question, now i can go out and get some. i think the standard length(or what i've been finding) is 5 inches? is that long enough or should i try to find some abnormal ones that are more like 7 or so?

Just go out and get yourself some Protek, Intuitive, Shogun or Lightning sliders that are specific for your bike and let this thread die. All sliders are going to be about the same size. The longer the slider, the more leverage it's going to have on the mounting point. It's going to be more likely to bend of fuck your frame up.
