[ST] Frame Sliders Question

[Erik Miner <Axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This maybe a dumb question but I'll ask anyway... If the sliders are 
attached to the frame/ motor mount if one where to have a get off or 
have the bike fall over onto the slider wounldn't the force of the 
impact be transmitted to the frame? If so, then isn't it possible 
that instead of just buggering up some body work that one might 
instead damage the frame?? I'm just figuring the force of the impact 
has to go some where.. I'd rather the body work absorb the impact and 
get trashed figure $300-$400.00 for a body panel than bend or tweek 
the frame which I'm SURE would cost more than a body panel to get 
repaired or replaced...If I'm wrong someone PLEASE let me know :-)
