As far as tip over in a parking lot, and putting sliders on to keep your bike pretty... sliders themselves aren't ”pretty.” I'll take my chances.

Yep.

Flipping; the required internet response.

Word.

Pegs, clip-ons and even tires have been known to cause bikes to flip in the event of a crash. Therefore, I don't put them on any bike I own.

You can see the fairing cut-outs, when upper and lower come apart?

Of course. And the guy's reaction at the end when he realized the internet was right. As usual.

I don't think the bike ripping to pieces is the frame sliders fault. There are a hundred other random objects on the side of the bike to dig into the ground, including the fairings themselves.

Nonsense. Prior to frame sliders, bikes never flipped.
