Title: Fork Sliders...what do they save in a crash? Post by: Lukey on December 12, 2008, 02:10:43 PM Fork sliders look fairly insignificant, so I was wondering what gets damaged without them.
I'll be installing Frame sliders soon, so wondering about the forks. Anything else I should consider for keeping my S4R safe? Title: Re: Fork Sliders...what do they save in a crash? Post by: Capo on December 12, 2008, 05:25:58 PM Brake calipers

In retrospect, rear axle sliders would have been a good investment. Title: Re: Fork Sliders...what do they save in a crash? Post by: moto on December 13, 2008, 03:17:35 PM The RHINOMOTO Front Axle Slider: Ducati/Aprilia (http://www.motowheels.com/italian/myproducts.cfm?parentcategoryid=853%7CMisc%2E%20Parts%3A%20Italian&productID=4636&showDetail=1&categoryID=854|All%20Aprilia%20Misc&vendoridtodisplay=0&filterFor=&collection=168%7CEuropean%20Motorcycle%20Parts) saved my fork lowers and calipers in my last low side.
When my 999R was hit in the parking lot, the only thing that touched down was the bar end sliders, solid footpeg and the front and rear axle sliders. I have not seen any downsides with the axle sliders. -M |
