Installed front axle and engine T-rex sliders on my S2R1K
later I installed the rear axle ones as well.
Bike went sliding down the road yesterday resulting in NO DAMAGE
other than a small graze on a bar end mirror tiny mark
under the gearbox case slight bend in the gear lever and cracked front fender.
I am certain that without them I would not of been able to ride the bike
home and I would of  destroyed most of the left side of my bike,
I had been wondering if the rear axle sliders were necessary and it was a bit
tedious removing them every time using the SSS stand.
Without them my swingarm would of been trashed foot peg would not of survived
and gear lever the same.  waytogo

Sorry I forgot about pics, BUT I was reminded yesterday as I lowsided my monster on the left side.  I AM a FIRM believer in both frame sliders AND at least front axle sliders now.  Both my frame and front sliders saved what would have been significant damage and likely would have kept my monster in the garage for a long time.   As it stands now, my frame and front sliders are worn, but still usable (I'll just rotate them), I have a broken shift lever and broken mirror, but that's it!  I'll go take some pics. 

Sorry to hear but thanks for the testimonial.

So it only took almost 2 months but the Motovation Frame Sliders just arrived today from Pro Italia.

They look well made and (using my bike jack to support the motor with a block of wood just to be sure nothing fell out of alignment) they installed in about 10 minutes.

Glad to finally have them.

Now to purchase some axle sliders....
