I bought the T-Rex ones, along with their front and rear axle sliders.  Bike hasnt fallen apart yet.

I was stopped at a gas station in Ojai, when an Aprilia rider joked that it must be a stunt bike.  Ass.

I also have the T-Rex and am happy with them.  Never seen the No Limit Moto ones before.

Ive heard good things from both. However when it comes to inexpensive insurance on your bike I would go with SpeedyMoto's. My friends bike wasn't totaled because of them. Good stuff.

I got the T-Rex Sliders on my bike.  So far so good.

Does it matter that the T-Rex sliders don't have replacement pucks on the end?  B/c with the other ones you have the replacement puck on the end, that way if you go down, all you have to replace is the puck instead of the entire frame slider on that side.

IIRC, the T-Rex are so inexpensive, you could get a second brand new set and still not have paid as much for both as you would have for the first set of the competition's sliders. Have they made swingarm and fork sliders for the S2R1K yet?

On Ebay, the T-Rex sliders are $55 including shipping, while the other sliders that have the pucks are $54 including shipping.  That's only $1 difference.  So if I were to buy more pucks, they would be less expensive than replacing a new T-Rex slider altogether. 

I was just wondering if anyone has had the pucks before and how they hold up.

err i guess i'm gonna get these too. once i rebuild i'm gonna be scared of the tip over factor more.
honestly though the accident.. not a single area protected by the sliders got damage. the lower fork, the swingarm, the side of the frame, the engine... not a single scratch...

... annnnd that's what i get for not looking at your eBay postings, I am sorry. I was comparing the T-rex prices to other name-brand set-ups that I have seen. Sorry for yapping before actually paying attention...

Not a problem my friend. 

So anyone know which ones I should buy?
