I've got the "Mushroom" sliders... don't stick out quite as far, but look like they'll do the job (don't want to find out though) Title: Re: where to buy good frame and swingarm sliders Post by: fasterblkduc on May 07, 2008, 02:05:34 PM I've crash tested the Cycle Cats several times now. They do a great job. The speedymotos don't stick out as far but from my crashing expertise mo:t: I'll tell you that I usually grind the sliders down and they are still just long enough to keep everything up off the pavement. If you start with the shorter ones, they will grind down real fast and by the time you're done sliding, your bike will grinding hard parts.
I crashed again this Saturday and the Cycle Cats protected great! Title: Re: where to buy good frame and swingarm sliders Post by: Rev. Millertime on May 07, 2008, 07:08:06 PM Are these crashes "track crashes"? What approx. speeds?
Cuz that makes a bit of a difference. Title: Re: where to buy good frame and swingarm sliders Post by: Vino900 on May 08, 2008, 02:09:32 PM I just received my Cycle Cat sliders today from OnCycles in Ohio for my '99 900SSie. $132, No Shipping and very good to deal with.
OrderedMOnday received today. Model# DS7 (Fits pre 2001 Ducati Monster 750/900; pre 2001 ST2/ST4; 1998-2000 750/900SS) Looks like great quality.

Cuz that makes a bit of a difference. It looks like I can finally post! Hope this works.... I've crashed both street and track. My point is that the farther they stick out, the more protection you have. When you start sliding, the plastic grinds down pretty quick. The shorter ones look better to most people, but will grind down faster and when you run out of plastic...you start rubbing bike parts. :'( Title: Re: where to buy good frame and swingarm sliders Post by: tcspeedfreak on May 10, 2008, 06:09:44 PM what about sliders that i have seen on the forks i think bolted through the front axel and for the swingarm, a friend of mine has a ktm superduke and he's got them all over the place
Title: Re: where to buy good frame and swingarm sliders Post by: mstevens on May 10, 2008, 06:34:58 PM I know that GSG-moto in Germany (http://gsg-moto.de/) makes fork and swingarm sliders for Monsters. Twistedthrottle.com carries at least some of their bits and bobs.
Title: Re: where to buy good frame and swingarm sliders Post by: fabertism on May 27, 2008, 03:19:50 PM I just crashed over the Memorial Day weekend and had the Cyclecat sliders on (the right side broke clean off) and they did an excellent job of causing minimal damage to the bike. I was fortunate not to be too badly hurt and neither was the bike. I'll gladly purchase another set...I stick with what I know works.
