Sliders

Does anyone know where I can get isome inexpensive but good quality, durable and slidable frame and swingarm sliders that come with instructions and kit to install them? I need it non-metal, polycarbonate or something, as I hear the aluminium, or steel or other metals tend to bend the frame if the bike is dropped. Thanks a lot.

I think the company is called Intuitive.

Yep, sold by Phillips-Lockhart racing, Parts Unlimited, Tucker-Rocky and others. Any Motorcycle store can get them, and you might be able to purchase direct from the distributors.

Whats a slider?

It's a delrin or aluminum, 3-4" barrel that attaches to the frame and/or swingarm to reduce body work or engine damage in an accident. Mine have paid for themselves in a driveway tip over already.

I guess kinda like nerf bars then. Like the tubular bumpers all around say a VW dune buggy? Makes you cycle a bumper car......

No, they arent metal, just the mounts for them.
Here, look at this picture,

You can buy aluminum sliders as well. A little more "bling" factor.LOL I have the black delrin ones.

Aluminum sliders are BAD NEWS in most wrecks... they tend to bend the frame instead of give way like they are supposed to.

is this what you yanks refer to as a slider.
as you can see, this one worked well! :banghead:
