Default Frame Slider Frustration

I am trying to find a set of frame sliders that don't reqire me to cut and carve up my bodywork. It sure seems like most do, and I can't seem to find any that don't require at least the right side to be modified.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

B-

I use Gilles frame sliders and they do not require any cutting. they even have some shock absorption unlike other sliders.

I had the R&G's initially, no cutting necessary. Now I have the LSLs... also no cutting required. In fact with the latter, I am able to take the right side faring off w/out taking the slider off... it's pretty tight but can do it.

I have Shogun sliders, spools, and bar ends on all of my bikes. I have even unfortunatly had to test them out, and they worked perfectly during lowsides (bikes stayed on pavement).

R&G Aero. Not too ugly and no cutting. Allegedly they are 'insurance approved' by a few UK bike insurers though typically not by mine.

I just bought a set of LSLs. I like the look, and it seems like a robust connection to the frame.

Thanks!
