Someone posting under the nom de plume "Mibgebert" appears to be the only person who had gone through the trouble of installing frame sliders on EX250. His design has some obvious flaws, though. The sliders are manufactured ~~out of~~ solid steel and have sharp edges. They will not absorb any shock, and will transfer all the energy directly to the frame, potentially doing more harm than protection. Also, the sharp edges may not slide well, "biting" into asphalt and acting as pivots, again, causing damage. To some extent these two issues can be corrected by adding plastic(?) tips for better energy ~~absorptions~~ and sliding.
