The different types of motorcycle fairing protection
Adhesive protectors, also known as tank grips or anti-slip kits, stick directly onto your motorcycle’s tank, either in a transparent finish to keep the paintwork visible or in solid black on a black tank, or to add extra style to your bike. These protectors are ideal for preserving painted surfaces and mounting points, ensuring your motorcycle stays in perfect condition even after an unexpected incident.
Tank grips are extremely useful when riding on track at high speeds. Thanks to an anti-slip surface, you can stay stable in long corners or under heavy braking. This equipment helps to reduce fatigue during long races or extended training sessions.
In addition, adhesive fairing protectors and instrument cluster protectors shield you from the hazards of road and track use: gravel, debris, stone chips and more. Make sure you select a product that is compatible with your motorcycle to guarantee quick and easy installation.
FAQ – Motorcycle fairing protection
What is a motorcycle fairing protector and what is it used for exactly?
A motorcycle fairing protector, also known as a frame slider or crash pad, is an accessory designed to take impacts instead of your bike. Mounted on strategic points of the frame or engine, it helps to limit damage to the fairings, fuel tank, engine block and even the footrest plates in the event of a fall, slide or simple loss of balance at a standstill. Fitting motorcycle fairing protectors means protecting the most expensive components of the bike and reducing repair costs when something goes wrong.
Are motorcycle fairing protectors really effective in a fall or slide?
Motorcycle fairing protectors do not make a crash disappear, but they make a real difference to the extent of the damage. In the case of a small fall at a standstill or at low speed, they can be enough to stop the fairing, frame or engine from hitting the ground directly. During a more serious slide, the sliders are the parts that scrape along the tarmac and absorb part of the energy, which reduces deep scratches, broken fairings and the number of parts to replace. In a major crash no protection can save everything, but quality crash pads remain one of the most effective ways to limit damage.
Fairing protectors, frame sliders, engine guards, crash bars: what are the differences?
Fairing protectors and frame sliders generally refer to the same accessories, mounted on the frame or engine mounting points to protect the bike in the event of a fall. Engine guards and engine case protectors focus more on the engine area and side covers. Crash bars, often used on trail bikes and roadsters, are larger tubular structures that surround a large section of the motorcycle. The right choice depends on how you use your bike, the look you want and the level of protection you are aiming for. For road and track use, a good set of well-positioned motorcycle fairing protectors offers an excellent compromise between protection, discretion and weight.
Do these protectors only protect the fairing, or the frame and engine as well?
A well-designed motorcycle fairing protector does much more than protect plastic parts. By taking the impact instead of the bike, it helps to preserve the frame, certain engine components, the engine cases, the fuel tank and sometimes even the controls or footrests. The areas protected depend on where the sliders are positioned and on the motorcycle model. The goal remains the same in all cases: to keep the most sensitive components away from the ground and distribute forces as evenly as possible in the event of a fall.
Can a frame slider damage the frame in a heavy impact?
This is a common concern. A poorly designed or incorrectly mounted frame slider can indeed transmit unwanted forces to the frame in the event of a major impact. That is why it is important to choose motorcycle fairing protectors that are specific to your model, with brackets and spacers engineered to fix onto the mounting points provided by the manufacturer. Quality kits use materials that are able to slide and deform progressively rather than transmitting a sudden impact directly into the frame.
Do I need to drill the fairings to fit motorcycle fairing protectors?
There are two main categories of motorcycle fairing protection kits: so-called “no-cut” kits, which can be fitted without cutting and route between the fairing panels, and kits that require drilling a discreet hole in the fairing to let the slider pass through. No-cut solutions are more reassuring for some riders, but kits that require cutting can sometimes offer an even more optimal position and better protection. In all cases, any drilling must be clean and precise to ensure a neat appearance and perfect integration.
How do I choose the right motorcycle fairing protection (material, length, design)?
Choosing your motorcycle fairing protectors is mainly about three factors: compatibility, materials and slider shape. Technical plastics such as nylon, Delrin or certain composites provide good abrasion resistance and controlled sliding behaviour on asphalt. A longer slider keeps the fairings further from the ground, but it must remain compact enough not to interfere with lean angle or catch on kerbs or rumble strips during sporty riding. Design also plays a part in the bike’s appearance, from very discreet protectors for a clean OEM look to more prominent sliders for a racing style inspired by the track.
How can I tell if a fairing protection kit is compatible with my bike?
Compatibility is crucial for the effectiveness of motorcycle fairing protectors. Quality kits are always listed by make, model and year, with mounting hardware and spacers tailored to the points provided as standard by the manufacturer. Before ordering, it is essential to check that your motorcycle features in the compatibility list and, if in doubt, to refer to the detailed product description or contact customer support. A universal kit may work in some situations, but a bike-specific kit is always the safest option.
Can I fit motorcycle fairing protectors myself?
Fitting motorcycle fairing protectors is usually within reach of any careful rider, provided the manufacturer’s instructions are followed closely. You must respect the assembly order, use the supplied bolts and spacers and tighten to the recommended torque to avoid unwanted stress on the frame or engine. When the fairing needs to be drilled, careful preparation is essential. If you are not comfortable with this kind of work, it is better to have the installation carried out by a professional.
Are motorcycle fairing protectors useful if I mainly ride in town or on the road?
Yes, motorcycle fairing protectors are useful even if you mostly ride in the city or on open roads. In town, most falls occur at low speed, during parking manoeuvres, tight U-turns or on slippery surfaces. In these situations, a good set of protectors can be enough to prevent cracked fairings, marked tanks or damaged engine cases. On the road, they provide extra peace of mind on rides and reduce repair costs after a possible slide. They are therefore not just for track riders.
Do I need to replace the sliders after a fall?
After a fall or slide, it is strongly recommended to inspect your motorcycle fairing protectors. If a slider is heavily scratched, deformed or cracked, it has done its job and must be replaced to guarantee optimal protection next time. Even if the bike appears to be only slightly damaged, visually checking the mounting points, fasteners and area around the installation ensures that the frame and anchor points have not been weakened.
