2012 ZX-14R: What frame sliders are you guys using?
So I've been trying to find some frame sliders to install on my 2012 ZX-14R.
So far the only ones I've found to be compatible are the Yoshimura Chassis Protectors which I can't find any reviews on. Additionally, I'm not a big fan of its look. I read something about Muzzy's ZX-14 frame sliders fitting perfectly, but when I go to Muzzy's web site, it seems that they don't make frame sliders for the ZX-14 models anymore.
There's some CNC frame sliders and custom frame sliders listed on eBay, but I'm really concerned about the quality of those things. So I'm curious what you other 2012 owners have installed. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction because there's not much else I've found on google. I'd prefer something which requires no modification and/or cutting.

The Muzzy's is my number one choice right now... but I can't find it anywhere! Where did you happen to purchase yours? They don't have it on their website and if you google it, it takes you to an old cache page from their website that leads to nowhere.

Oh wow... that's not good at all. Thanks for the info. Looks like that has dropped out of my number 1 choice spot. I got my ZX-14R in January. It has been out since December. I'm really surprised how 8 months later there are still such few options. I figured I'd have at least a dozen choices by now.

Thanks for the info. Would those be prone to breaking the engine case or motor mount in a spill? I have heard some design's will do that.

ZX14 frame sliders are also known as "Frame breakers". Just a big lever on the motor mount, imo.
