Best RC-51 Frame Sliders

I am pondering installing frame sliders on my 2004 RC. I have done some searching and have come to the conclusion of using the Sato Sliders. Anyone have any suggestions on which sliders they feel is the best for the RC?

Sato sliders work well. Any slider that's basically a Derlin (sp?) plug that mounts through the motor mount will work.

I can tell you some bad things about Yoyodyne sliders, as they stick out too far and have a tendency to snap off if "used". Nice idea, (especially for tie-downs) just not great in the real world.

Some guys DON'T use sliders on the RC51 at the track, as it has a tendency to flip the bike onto the tank. For street use, I'd recommend them 100%, since it'll save radiators and what not in low speed incidents.
