No they're not...a true "frame slider" is only about 1.5" if that. All the ones out there can/will help with saving plastics, but thats not their main job.

With a slider you need to think of the bike it's going on.

On a TL if you bugger it enough to mark the frame (without them) theirs a good chance a slider wouldn't have done anything to help if it was there. The gas tank and radiator on a TL (both S and R) stick out so far over the frame its like a 400lb fat man with a 32" waist.

With the TL you need to offer that radiator some sort of protection. That is why the slider is essential to have on it. Try finding a new radiator... or good used one for that matter.

Saving plastic is the last thing a slider should be there for.
