...and who makes those sliders? I like them! How would you rate them against the other popular brands? I never saw those spools mentioned here as an option, either. It looks like they and the engine covers are the same maker.
all are x-race off Ebay. Dirt cheap, and acceptable quality for the price. I'm not crazy about the design of ANY frame sliders I've seen for the CBR- they all look like they'd bend the frame in anything beyond a very easy tipover. Probably smarter to sacrifice the (dirt cheap) stock bodywork.
Erf. I guess I didn't find a tail bag I like then after all. Thanks for the info.
Nothing short of a Givi type hard bag will be close to waterproof. Even the beefiest "soft" bags come with rain covers. If this wasn't mainly a racebike for me (and occasional street ride) I'd go with some Givi E21's with custom side racks (unless someone started making them). A can of Camp Dry or Scotch Gard can make soft luggage more water resistant.

Yeah, looking at prices for body panels and turn signals, it looks like I might be better off just stocking up.
