I am not sure this is true, but if it were...you'll notice that the right guard has a bracket on it that they police use to mount different items (night stick holders, shotgun mount, radar gun holder).  As non-police customers, what would you mount there or does it concern you?  It's not removable.  BTW, I don't want to highjack this thread so feel free to PM me directly with thoughts.

With respect to frame sliders, I don't think we have a good solution for you today.  So feel free to point toward solutions you like with hopes that you'll see them added in the future on our motorcycles.  I appreciate the insight.

I doubt she will have any use for the bracket the engine guard has. It would strictly be for the protection it offers.

My personal choice for frame slider has been from Woodcraft Technologies. Though I will say that after reading the comments from NoiseBoy, I do question if they are necessary. I suppose once we have the opportunity to look at the bike in person we can make that decision.

I suppose since you had asked. I typically change my own tires on my R6 and swap out wheels between track days (I have a spare set for track tires). The rear stand I have lifts up the back by swingarm spools. They make rear stands that don't require the spools and I may end up just getting one of those. I am real curious how my front end stand will work with the Zero. Bar end sliders wouldn't be a bad addition and availability of parts (though I am sure I can just go through the dealer). I only say all of this because I am somewhat a track day junkie and the moment she rolls the bike into our garage I will be drooling over the idea of taking the Zero S to the track. I doubt she will ever let me though LOL.

I just heard back from one of the sales reps at Zero Motorcycles. Looks like grindz145 nailed it. Engine guards will be available for the S and DS. Also, the suspension can be adjusted by an inch.

Thank you guys again for the feedback!

On her Ninja 250, we lowered the back by about two inches for her to feel comfortable. Though I will say that she only wore sneakers the few times she took the 250 out. Her reasoning was exactly like you said, Richard - she wasn't able to get her foot under the clutch lever while wearing her boots. Her being new to motorcycles and manually shifting, it was hard to argue. So, I am hoping that when she does sit on the S (she mentioned she will be wearing the boots), she realizes that lowering it isn't necessary.

grinz145, I am just outside of Albany and working with Phibbs Motor Sports.

Thanks Richard for the response. The dealer near me just became a Zero Motorcycles dealer and their first shipment (aside from the demo they have on the floor) will be sometime this week or early next. One of the models they are getting in is an S model so we will get a good idea if any adjustment will be necessary. If there is any adjustment required I think looking at modifying the seat will be a good start.

I may call Zero motorcycles directly and see what their recommendations are for the frame sliders.
