Title: Anyone running these frame sliders? Post by: loopsrider on February 21, 2010, 01:26:17 AM Did a search and came up with nothing on these particular frame sliders...

They almost look a little blingy for my taste, but a pics of them actually installed may change my mind. I would probably change the chrome end caps to optional black ones to tone them down a little. Also...Feel free to recommend and post up pics of other sliders.... Title: Re: Anyone running these frame sliders? Post by: Adamm0621 on February 21, 2010, 05:35:37 AM Those are neat. Don't remember the name of the frame sliders on mine... just told the dealership to put some sliders on it for me.

good quality and good value. Title: Re: Anyone running these frame sliders? Post by: Mojo S2R on February 22, 2010, 06:07:49 AM +1 on the Trex. Wish I had gotten them a couple of days earlier. [roll] Get whichever ones you like. Better to have than wish you did and it be too late.

Title: Re: Anyone running these frame sliders? Post by: xcaptainxbloodx on February 23, 2010, 04:12:49 AM the auction was a bit muddled but it looks like they are heavy duty plastic with aluminum caps and some sort of carbon fiber wrap.
doesnt sound like the most high quality piece...Ive heard rumor (vauge, unsubstantiated internet hearsay) that metal frame sliders dont so much slide as catch and send the bike tumbling. My bike came with speedymoto frame sliders and they have held up very well, saved my bike a few times already. Title: Re: Anyone running these frame sliders? Post by: swankdaddy7 on February 23, 2010, 06:29:33 AM motovation is the only way to go. I have Motovation, and then a also bought the carbon ones that the original poster is talking about. I haven't installed them yet, and I was kind of worried about if they would function well enough. |
