Title: Frame Sliders do work! Post by: tonymtber on March 17, 2010, 10:27:11 PM OK, nice sunny day & the bike needs a wash.....half way through I noticed it move forward & over she went! Bloody side stands! >:(
Anyway, I desperately tried to grab the bars but I was on the wrong side so I decided to let it go & hope for the best. The frame slider took it all & the bar end mirror was knocked & had to be re aligned. ;D Hopefully this will be the only time its on its side as I don't want to test the sliders out on the road!

sounds like you need to invest in a paddock/race stand. Title: Re: Frame Sliders do work! Post by: mostro900 on March 18, 2010, 02:09:54 PM First problem was that you decided to clean your bike! ;)
follow Big's lead... Title: Re: Frame Sliders do work! Post by: tonymtber on March 18, 2010, 03:54:31 PM Hey, I have a stand but generally dont use it when I wash the bike (maybe I should from now one) 8)
Still I think these side stands are not the greatest. On some of the other bikes I've owned, the stand is locked into position once the weight of the bike is on it so it cant move forward & roll off the stand. ....just easier to leave it dirty! ;D Title: Re: Frame Sliders do work!
