[@motonosity]

Big thanks to TST for hookin me up with with the crash protection parts! Seriously check them out. I've been getting their stuff for years and they make (and sell) great parts. Awesome customer service too. Let em know I sent ya! TST's website - bit.ly/2qZAXUe

[@700_days2]

Motonosity you should put akrapovic exhaust on the r6 it's the best sound exhaust for her

[@stephencain3467]

super clean install

[@kimblastein]

Motonosity Dude comone you really should do a tail tidy on the r6 Its ugly whit that tail

[@Twitchmotorvlogs1323]

Motonosity can you put crash protection on dirt bikes?. And you should put one on you're Crf450

[@anonymousnoname4100]

I thought you had sold the r1

[@chaseontwowheels]

I gotta admit I cried watching you drill that fairing.

[@ridindirty7900]

it's important to cry while watching, chase. now you know how we felt watching you with that table in your garage....

[@jonathanshaw7242]

chaseontwowheels I cried watching you drill that gas tank 😂

[@motonosity]

Ridin' Dirty - Dang, rekt. Sorry, Chase. My apologies.

[@ridindirty7900]

saw the opportunity, took the opportunity. sorry chase. you both do great work, keep it up.

[@thugfox3000]

chaseontwowheels the first hole went pretty smooth, bummer about the second one!

[@Jay_olsen]

hey moto, may have a tip for you! just a little drilling trick that i have picked up from work (i work on boats). but when drilling/holesawing into gelcoat you start off by drilling in reverse to avoid taking big chips out of the gelcoat! i have done it to a few other things similar to this video and it often makes the start of the hole cleaner and its just made it alittle less risky haha love the videos mate!

[@WhereUGetCheapCubes]

Really thought this was going to be a fender eliminator kit. 😂

[@TSTindustries]

aGuy onYT that's coming out real soon. They are in production.

[@matthewgarland4853]

Does it help you not cross a double yellow and hit a yellow Porsche?

[@TmbkBrgrk]

"I am a terrible rider."

[@DznByLimbo]

Oh my god. I'd be so bothered with the left side. I'm too OCD for that... actually.. I suppose if I had 4 bikes, a badass jeep, and the best job imaginable I wouldn't be so protective 😅

[@motonosity]

Yeah, personally I wish I had gotten it more perfect. I was pretty excited with how the right side went and was hoping the left would go as well. It's a much tighter squeeze for that hole tho, if you know what I mean.

[@harmzy1536]

Motonosity no homo

[@dunkindoggies4410]

DznByLimbo what kind of job does he have? I'm new to this channel

[@harmzy1536]

DunkinDoggies he does KZbin full time.

[@adamschool7522]

DznByLimbo I couldn't agree more. my OCD feels like a disease. I would have cried with that fitment!!

[@muhamadiqbalbassar5798]

You should use silver or metal color swingarm spools. It is bound to be scratched each time you lift it up. Other colors will only make it easier for you to see the scratches. Just my opinion.

[@vartalcdpowerbank7447]

Drop test?

[@TheGrundig81]

So you cut your plastics to put slider's, to protect them from being damaged? that's seems right :P

[@TSTindustries]

TheGrundig81 the sliders protect more vital and expensive components. Fairings are consumable.

[@taco-rblx-20]

TSTindustries Shut up bitch

[@TheGrundig81]

i know, but you could buy more expensive sliders, that dont require you to damage the original fairings ;) I would never do this, because it doesn't make sense and it look ugly, but it's my opinion not the law :) i would rather buy engine case protector then to use this slider's method.

[@TSTindustries]

LJPac , Keep playing video games and let the adults talk.

[@TSTindustries]

Lassi Kinnunen , Motonosity has spent enough money with us in the past that we wanted to hook him up for this new bike. He was just kind enough to mention us in the video so you guys know where to get the parts if you like them.

[@XloMotion]

Loctite all those bolts that you replaced. You'll be surprised by how the engine vibration will loosen then up in no time.

[@sportsterrider37]

Glad I am not the only one that was thinking it. I will be surprised if nothing falls off.

[@mikedidonato4289]

"protip" when using a hole saw in fairings running it in reverse will make a cleaner cut🤙👍

[@JaretCampisi]

Thats the first thing I always do to my bikes too. Great vid brother!

[@Callum178]

Do you know whether I can have a full carbon v2

[@Jabooty_Williams]

I did my sliders with a laser. Put the bike on the stand and take the fairing off. Shine a laser (at the exact same level) into the bolt hole. Put fairing back on and mark with a sharpie where the laser is. Pull fairing off and drill where the mark is. Goes on perfect every time.

[@blu_falcon6321]

Great video. Just laid my bike down and totaled it because I didn't have these mods. My next bike will definitely get this done as soon as it's in my garage. Thanks!

[@nicolasr.3019]

I understand why you want to take your time, the cut looks so clean it's like it's always been here.

[@Electro_Dude]

next video how to replace your broken fairings

[@taxi615]

those TOCE exhaust are brutal you do NOT wanna be behind a bike with one they are very hard on the ears. happy they make no cut sliders for my bmw s1000rr I would never cut the fairings way to expensive. love your channel discovered you 3 days ago by watching Jaret. you are a very down to earth guy subbed for what you do!

[@TW0TIRES]

Nice install. Looks clean. Too bad the one side is so close to the edge, but overall it looks great. Better for the gap to be on the bottom side than the top.

[@chiefmachining7972]

My crash is protection is insurance no cutting of the fairing required.

[@RobplusPiper]

I love TST Industries! Dude my 2018 MT-09 looks a thousand times better now with the fender elimination kit, the low mount license plate and led light, integrated taillights/blinkers, halo glow front turn signals, and I should’ve bought the crash protection, which I am doing that next. Thanks for the video man. Yamaha is life!

[@samuraiflamenco2109]

I regret not getting any frame sliders I was looking at frame sliders a week ago then i decided to hold off on them next day low side my bike

[@NotABot-px7ky]

I'm probably just gonna buy a cage instead

[@adrianfumi]

2222! Miss riding out there! Been a long while... I don't take my bike out too far anymore, she's getting up there in age! Fixing to get a new bike here soon and I'll be heading out there and heading to Marble Falls! I can't wait! Thank you for all your killer vids! All those places you go to takes me back! My riding days are not like they used to be since my girls came into this world. That vid you and chaseontwowheels did on the "first time 2 up" had me rolling!!!! Hahahaha! Congrats on the baby and I hope your wife is doing well!

[@vintimv001]

I swear you can crack your frame if your bikes slides in the wrong angle. I also heard the bike can flip on the axis of the frame slider.

[@Deaddog03]

Case covers > frame sliders. Both, ideally, (spools are awesome, but I use a cheap set of skateboard wheels and I've crash tested them. Saved my swingarm) but an aftermarket case cover set like woodcraft, protrudes enough to keep the expensive stuff from breaching and dumping oil on the road or track and ruining your weekend (or months if you're on a budget). Woodcraft case covers allowed me to continue to race, after an 80mph off camber lowside. Give the new guys a sexy video on a case cover install. At the very least, the stator cover, since that's the most vulnerable of the covers. If you've already done one and I'm talking out of my ass, then my bad. Keep em coming!

[@Deaddog03]

Case covers also don't have protruding bolts that could bend and snap inside the frame pass-through, that would require extraction post-crash. Definitely worth mentioning.

[@riderzinc]

It always seems crazy to me to drill a massive hole though the fairing to protect it from getting damaged

[@tomorrowtoday4839]

Suggestions: LocTite your spools in place. Real bummer to lose one, especially on a track day. For the fork, LocTite one side, it's one less thing that can come apart. Bar ends: especially on certain bikes, it is important to make sure the throttle motion is unimpeded after installation, with smooth and full rotation. Thanks!

[@TSTindustries]

Good points here

[@GinjaNingerMan]

when you gonna hit us up with some dad jokes?

[@veizii6096]

That cut along the edge scared me 😭😭

[@flyinryan5614]

TST is literally the BEST company for these things. I have a 18’ mt09 and a 18’ R1M btw👍🏻

[@TheInostep]

you destroy it to protect it

[@dakodakight1302]

Tip when using the hole saw use it in reverse it won't fray any plastic at all takes longer but insures clenner results

[@_Machine631_]

that first cut was clean. I always get nervous cutting into things. it's like no turning back now haha

[@landonmc98]

Protip from a machinist: files only cut in one direction. You decrease the life of your file by pulling it back across your work.

[@ryantube9274]

If you were a machinist you wouodnt bother and youd use it anyways lmfao. I worked with a couple the amount of time u waste picking out up and replacing it isnt worth it

[@jdwmmedia]

So, so so true. some new riders will get an exhaust or a shit ton of stickers or other shiz, but the first thing you need to do when you pick up a new set of wheels is protect it as best as you can. dont skimp on a crash cover protector set and a fork, bar end, frame, and swingarm slider set available through many different companies. too many people put it off and think theyll get to it when they get to it, and sadly end up dropping their brand spanking new bike and have to pay out the ass for new plastics and/or god knows what else just bc they didnt see gravel in an intersection, etc. if it doesnt already have it, THE FIRST MOD ON YOUR NEW BIKE NEEDS TO BE CRASH PROTECTION!!!! DONT BE A NOOB/DUMMY ABOUT THIS SHIT!!!

[@jdwmmedia]

Dont forget to use loctite to prevent road vibrations causing your sliders to loosen out of the bolt threads. loctite essentially glues them in place. i once lost a slider bc it got shaken loose on the interstate... rip slider!!

[@Regmou5]

jdwm i agree, i just never put any on mine since no company makes any for my bike. quick counting: dropped once, lowsided once and been in a ditch once.

[@ecookman]

I just buy old bikes. If I wreck my fzr, I'ma just buy another one lol. Sliders? Naaah.

[@BucketWheat]

I realize TST is probably giving you some 'sponsor' support... and I respect that. But I will add a recommendation for Puig frame sliders... they are shaped sort of like a "3D Smile" so they Slide over some of the irregular surfaces that a typical slider might catch into and flip the bike up in the air... I checked TST website in hopes they may carry Puig products...but they do not. But they are a product my Brother and I have been Very pleased with.

[@silentj3419]

TST is awesome! I have the crash protection kit for my FZ-07. I can vouch for you that they are super easy to install.

[@SLIMP3Y]

You do such amazing work on your bikes, hands down really good dood.

[@allihernandez8320]

That s14 in the back at 1:15 👌🏽

[@alejandrogonzales7022]

Maybe get yourself a couple of wooden blocks to put under stuff you're cutting holes into. Even some foam blocks... anything but your hand and concrete. I'm glad you didn't get hurt, but busting a hole saw pilot bit or cutting your hands up... not good.

[@iFulixzer]

Exactly what is the point with sliders when you ruin your fairings to get them on?

[@colin9630]

What about some longer protection sliders that stick out more? Those don't look like they're as long as some others. And what about throwing another pair of long sliders somewhere towards the middle or rear of the bike frame? If possible?

[@d8zvevoh879]

I literally just bought frame sliders for my first bike (ninja 300) can't wait for them to get here so I can put them on!!

[@MyloShwayze]

That bike has a really nice side profile. Didn't like these when they were announced at all. But this color and these videos are really doing these justice.

[@KickinItWithKrash]

I put that shit off on my 600 $4300 later (parts and labor) the $150 frame sliders were a no brainer .. the zx10 had them installed before it ever touched the streets 🤙🏾

[@Isadeno]

Can you just do a fast video about what to look for if you want to by a used motorcyckle, about 5-10 years old. Just stuff like how the tiers should look like, or the engine sounds, stuff that should of been fixed, like motor service etc. Thank you! Great vid!

[@tidepods3182]

On the 17 r6 are you going to do the white and red theme? I think you should do white fairing and keep the rims blue!

[@ThoseMetalGuys]

I always get nervous whenever any mod requires cutting or drilling into my baby. You did great though, looks really good, and will keep those vital parts of your bike safe if anything happens. I'm not worried about your riding ability, its the people you share the road with to worry about. Be safe out there brother, keep it on two.

[@ovodcd1591]

Man. You're professional. I really like how you taking care of your beautiful R6. One day I'll meet you in person I'll move to Austin from Washington DC. Thanks for sharing your useful videos .

[@Victimesty]

1:43 "Waaay back in 2013" ... I have underwear older than that.

[@Tiqerboy]

On the wheel sliders, I noticed you slid a bolt through the axle. It would seem the axle is hollow on the R6 so you could do that.

[@co8539]

For anyone with a new year bike like Brent's I would advise you buy some cheap Chinese fairings and put your factory ones in storage instead of drilling into them

[@mikekitts6595]

that left side I would have change it into a u shape to make it more clean looking so it's a nice clean finish...

[@matthewdawson4660]

I just noticed he's from the suburbs of Austin where I'm from it's cool to find a KZbinr from your area that is into the same things you are:)

[@dcboyhacker00]

I personally feel it is that ugly ass brake light/ license plate thing... way to massive

[@hi161g]

Its a fender. Hands down best visual mod is fender eliminator + smoked tail light with integrated turn signals.

[@zackphelps3052]

Zoraldo yep.. Just installed mine today, makes the bike look so much better..

[@rodd33]

Ninja Hacking/Glitching fender eliminator, delete rear foot pegs, exhaust, grips, tank zipper protector, tank neoprene knee guards, rear spools, double bubble, sprockets and chain something like that other than what I just saw.

[@d.fresh.750]

Looks good...I was gonna say the left side was awful close to the edge, then you explained why. Hopefully it doesn't crack!

[@johnnyhoney2074]

Perfect upto the left side , that would nag at me a bit . Still nice watching the work being done and good luck .

[@evandaniels9659]

should get the GB racing engine case covers ive been using them on both track and street bikes along with all the sliders. basically protection wise bike is track ready even for street use.

[@Skysleepr]

Keep up the fantastic work on your videos they are amazing and congrats to you and your wife on your first child.

[@northstarracing18d-4d]

Have you checked impact tec for race rails? There alot better than sliders cause if you lay it down there's nothing for cracks to catch on to and they last more than one lay down they also don't stick out a ton either they make the most low profile cages and race rails you can get probably

[@MikesMotoMadness]

almost dropped my r1 in the driveway yesterday so this is definatrly next on my to do list

[@flyfisherneil5201]

Going back to your old vids to check out your mods to the R6 as I’m getting one before they are discontinued 👌🏽

[@hatepplz]

I have the womet tech frame sliders and they are the best I've owned look great and amazing quality

[@m4n3ymak3r5]

Can't wait to get my first bike plan on getting a ninja 650 or cbr 600rr can't wait! I plan on doing this crash protection also now

[@Di2zYy.]

you should check grave bar end its really slick looking

[@ragingpanda_yt1632]

congrats on the baby

[@ShadowChemos]

Damn dude, that is clean. Very well done!

[@josh20109]

need to invest in some of these myself to be honest! I'm a new rider, not come off yet luckily.. yet...

[@taxijackmusic]

Say NO to frame sliders. whats cheaper? cracked cylinder/head or side fairing? fairings absorb impact. cages are the way to go if you need sliders.

[@jacobshepherd3997]

Yup, the fairings are designed to be consumables in a crash. People just don’t get that. Now I do see the value on getting a case cover if you do a lot of aggressive riding. Or a cage like you said if you do a lot of stunting

[@JaikeJones]

Actually watching this while recovering from a crash and my bike is written off so I should’ve watched this video 5 days ago I guess lmao

[@BusinessWolf1]

That bike looks so much better without the fairing. 7:39

[@adammoorby99]

As i can only ride 125cc my first 2 mods when i eventually get the 125cc i want are Bar End Mirrors and a louder Exhaust

[@My_world1979]

Really hope you go with the competition werkes gp slip on. It's by far the best money I spent on my bike. You will not be disappointed. You can see I posted a vid if you want to see and hear it. But the camera doesn't do it justice for sound. Way better in person.

[@souranimals]

Good info:) I think I'm going to add the frame sliders to my bike.

[@lenardgadgets5423]

This is actually really good for beginners. Hey mate, could you please make a video of mods/items we can install for the bikes performance? Like change of CDI, quickshifter etc :) It will be great!

[@krysistheabyss]

suspension tune! best mod to do to it

[@abce2l.777]

You need this ! . Money ! .

[@animepabu5526]

My moms like no you don’t need those crash protectors I never crashed when I started learning.....and I’m here like good for you....but ummmm I don’t think imma be that careful 😂

[@0906ramos]

1:05 I was not getting enough gains😂 been there 😅

[@64t120r]

Suspension is your first and most important mod. Springs, cartridges, everything you need to make it correct for you. The factory doesn't know anything about you therefore the suspension can't be set perfectly for you. If you don't get that done right, you could get injured or killed. That's a lot more important.

[@64t120r]

Hahaha. Ok, give your bike more accessories. I'll make sure my bike can handle everything I do. Look at the other race teams and tell me how many of them put sliders on their bikes. Remember, one of the biggest killers on the road is ego.

[@64t120r]

So, let's see if I got this straight. A guy goes down at 130 mph only his fairings will get damaged? Nothing else. No potential hospital visit, the engine doesn't get scraped, no frame damage, foot pegs are still perfectly straight along with the brake and shifter? Do I have that right?

[@64t120r]

Ah, I see you're trying to trash my credibility. Apparently, you are either a corporate shill for the slider company or you are helping put out the videos. It's also apparent you are pretty young and have very limited experience riding. Especially the way you keep trying to insult me with your, "How dumb are you?" question. First, the badly damage portion came up in my initial comments. Second, most of the bikes sold today are made for faster riding. Dude, that's a no brainer. When companies have speed limiters set at, roughly, 186 mph, that tells you something. Third, do you actually ride. Or at least something bigger than a Vespa? Fourth, I am curious why you would argue equipment protection over a persons potential harm? Fifth, if you do actually own a bike, did you buy it new? If you did, did the dealership ask you your weight? Do you know why? Sixth, what two major components of a motorcycle keep the bike on the road?

[@64t120r]

That 4th section on my post is important. Why do you argue protecting the equipment over rider safety? Just to make you aware, I am going to repost this conversation so that people know to use a different companies products and such. At the very least, I will be mentioning it. Which is perfectly legal since we have been going back and forth in a public forum.

[@64t120r]

Why are suspension settings crap? The suspension and the tires are what keep a bike on the road. You do know that? Right?

[@ryanphillips5341]

1:03 just made me laugh instantly, had to sub and like

no Motonosity - left side is a disaster

[@TorpedoArde69]

The first mod you motorcycle needs. "your gonna regret not having them like when you're working on your bike for the first time" But hold on, what if you drop your bike when your working on your "first needed mod" frame sliders? Illuminati? Confirmed

[@jlove24]

Cool to see a motovlogger living in Austin maybe I'll catch you out riding! Keep up the vids

[@SnakePlizkin]

I really like it when people with some reach recommend these. "Crash bars and Frame Sliders"

What a perfect job! Well done man!!!

My version of modding a bike: hey look, I have a phone mount and Cortech saddlebags.....

[@MrSupervian]

everytime you installing is very clean .... Awesome

[@robincarlson9921]

You are wrong the 1st mods a bike needs are adjustments so it can be operated properly and safely I.E. clutch hand span clutch lever up or down front brake span front brake lever up or down shift lever up or down and rear brake pedal up or down most noobs don't have a clue and most others don't think about those either and if ya think they do know then you are probably the kind of plebe who sells a 1000 cc or larger bike to an absolute beginner ! And yes that last quote is a David Bowie song

[@WilliamLeonard]

Hey how are you? I started watching your videos 3 days ago and I enjoy them. I live in miami and also vlog here. Great videos

Some matching blue case sliders

[@iM2iLLi]

very clean work!

[@akaashkhokhar7768]

Wish my vintage bike had this capability!
