Title: Sliders less pricey than Speedymoto?
Post by: Syscrush on December 07, 2009, 04:34:19 PM
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...

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.

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]
