Sturdy Product - Minor Installation/Part Hiccup
I got this product for my Z650 and overall I am happy with its looks and functionality, but I encountered troubles with installation and hopefully this helps anyone looking to use these.
The biggest trouble I had with this was the installation. I have never installed bike protection equipment before and from the videos I had seen they mounted directly on the frame bolt, not using a spacer like this (see pictures for reference). The instructions aren't incredibly intuitive either and having no video tutorials for this exact part didn't help.
Aside from wrapping my head around how this whole thing is installed, the nuts for the long bolts weren't the correct size (two black nuts in part picture) and felt like it was cross-threading the new bolt. On-top of that, the new nut supplied for the long bolts were flanged, unlike the original OEM nuts, so it literally couldn't physically fit in the rather tight spot for the nut. I had to go to my hardware store and purchase two M10 x 1.5 locking nuts which were a perfect fit - I didn't and still don't understand how this integral part of the upgrade was off in every aspect, especially since this kit was specifically designed for all year models of the Z650. Bizarre...
With the issues I encountered, I would still recommend these sliders. I haven't had the unfortunate chance to try these, but if drop the bike or anything like that I'll be sure to update this review.

Saved my Bike
First month riding I got caught in a torrential downpour of rain. When turning right around a sharp bend my rear tire slipped out and my bike slide about 5 meters. The right frame slider took most of the damage. Only other thing that took a scratch was my bar ends and a bit on the exhaust. No plastic cladding was damaged. Worth the money. However getting replacement rubber ends is a bit of a pain.

Fortnine remove inferior product from site
Bought this for 2013 zx6r and have same issues with the provided hardware.
Left side needs m10 1.25 50mm not 70mm that is provided
The shorter 60mm used on right side but stripped the thread now it won't tighten at the end.
Going to ask for my money back from fortnine. Avoid these frame sliders at all costs. They are pure garbage.

Great Street Sliders with no drilling/cutting
Put these on my 2017 R3. Worked Great, looks clean. Only advice I have for prospective buyers is make sure you match all your screw lengths correctly as there are some slight variations between the left and right side.

Scam
Received random bolts that were not the same as in instructions. All the packaging was loose everything was sliding around. Spacers are too big, bolts I was given won't reach threads on the frame (could cut spacers to fit). Purchased for my CBR-250R 2012, since it presented itself as no-cut fairings. Which isn't the case, assuming I have to cut my fairings, since it collides, which I refuse to do. Looking at other reviews from other sources, they fail in crash and damage frame. Vortex is overpriced garbage presenting itself as racing grade, will never purchase from them again.

Lack of instruction
I bought these Frame Sliders because my friend with his SV650 said it was an okay install, but these came with a pretty severe lack of instruction as to the orientation of the frame sliders. I followed the limited instructions to install the sliders but found that the bracket would not fit no matter how they were oriented, and I had to swap the left and right side brackets to make it fit. You do need to partially take off the faring to install these on the 2014 CBR500R.

Is this a cut or no cut frame slider kit?
Depends where your slider mounting holes are in relation to your fairings.
