Hey gang. Looking for frame & front axle sliders for a 2006 M620 that are hopefully less expensive than the Speedymoto units.
Or, a really cogent argument about why the Speedies are worth it would do just fine, too. :)
How about some R&G's?

I think they are a bit cheaper compared to Speedymoto, just not sure who distributes them in the US...
Cycle Cat? on cycled has a bunch still. i think they were the best once as far as use goes.
Good one, you can find them here:
Oncycles (http://oncycles.com/browse.asp?division=sportbike&department=crashdamageprotection&category=frramesliders&subcategory=&make=&brand=&page=1&sort_by=)
And....they have free shipping for orders over $25!
T-Rex sliders are cheap and look good. I haven't tested them yet.

I was very interested in those when I was in teh market for sliders for my HM (I have speedymotos on my Monster) but decided to go with Motovations because I did not find a lot of info about crashability on the T Rex -- I think just one person had experience with them...

That is because of their magical ablility to keep you from wrecking......did I just jinx myself? I do believe I did. Son of a pregnant dog! Anyway......I didn't find much crash info either. Just took a chance.

well worth the $50!
I thought the extra $50 for teh Motovation was worth the crash data so I went wih it for my Hyper...
Hey everybody - thanks for all the pointers. I'm glad someone mentioned R&G, because I've bought 3 sets of them for other bikes through a relatively local distributor here in Ontario, and they carry the Ducati ones. Here's the link if you're interested:

The R&G sliders have worked great on my M695. Thanks for the local distributor link. [thumbsup]
I too thought Speedy Moto sliders were too expensive, but after considering a savings of only a few dollars for other lesser known brands, I bought them anyway. When I received them, I was impressed with their strength and design. I would buy them again.
I haven't crashed yet, but I'm planning on it! [bang]
