Frame Sliders: Device you attach to your frame, one on each side. Sticks out just far enough to (hopefully) take most of the damage if you lay it down.
Clip ons = handle bars
CCT = Cam Chain Tensioner
R/R = Regulator/Rectifier
Slip-on = Exhaust Cans
What else...?

I take it slip ons are different from a full exhaust?
sort of like a cat-back on a car vs. full dual exhaust kinda thing, either some or all...
clip-ons, never thought that what you'd call handlebars...
so, I'd want to order a set of VFR clip ons, if i wanted more upright handlebars...
interesting... sliders... something I might need..... so it lessons damage... I'd call them bumpers!
thanks... I know it made me sound uneducated, I just didnt know...

Clip-ons attach directly to the fork tubes. There are 2 of them, right and left.
The SuperHawk comes stock with clip-ons.
Handlebars are a single unit attaching above the upper triple clamp. To mount on the VTR you would need handlebar mounts.
Yes, slip-ons are like a cat back.

Yes, slip-ons are mufflers. They are designed so you can remove the stock mufflers, and "slip-on" the new ones.
Theres more to clip-ons than meets the eye. Do some forum searches for more details. A popular upgrade for the SH are "risers". Search for that.
There are plenty more strange words you will run into. Don't be afraid to ask.
