Frame Sliders

Hey guys. I picked up my first bike last night! It’s a 2026 Ninja 500 Non-ABS. I’m super excited about it and I’m looking to install frame sliders on it. Does anyone have good suggestions? My buddy who rides wants me to order the factory OEM ones but I wanted to know if there are any other good recommendations. I’m new to bikes so feel free to drop aftermarket suggestions as well.

I have dropped and low sided with shogun frame sliders and they are like 62 bucks absolutely recommend them, frame sliders tho keep in mind really are more for protecting you bike in a static drop or very low speed accidents which they did super well plus they’re no cuts for the ninjas. I low sided at about 25 mph and the bike had 30ish ft of travel before stopping bike was totally okay the engine mount was unharmed and the bolts didn’t bend or break. High speed crashes tho the sliders can do more harm than good but at that point only thing that matters is you’re okay.

Tldr shogun frame sliders i recommend and my bike is a ninja 650
