I think you should post a picture showing the other side too.

What material is it made from?  Aluminium?  If so, you could consider having it black anodised....

Anodize it black.  Personally I like the open look of the stock wheel and I have zero sliders on my bike. 

The money I saved in sliders on my bike I spent on better insurance and covered all the accessories.  If she goes down I won't want to fix it, just replace it.

Ask and you shall receive ungeheuer.





I think the left side blends nicely but I may have the right right cap anodized.  Anyone/company I should consider for anodizing?

I think that the silver color adds a nice accent to the right side!

 looks good!  Wink

 I had a garage tip over and my front axle sliders and frame sliders saved my bike from major damage, they are definitely are worth the install.  I use a rear stand all the time so no rear slider for me.

Looks very neat  waytogo

Rear stand rules it out for me too though.

I have been meaning to get one of those rollers for the front wheel.  My garage tip over did not hit the front axle.  Although it did land on a foam mat so maybe it did and I just can't tell.

For $35 bux it definitely works for me. The pit bulls are nice but they aren't $35. Haha

It's cute and would work well as a set of 'rollers' for some MTB training, but it ain't no motorcycle stand.  Wink

Paint the sprocket carrier and leave the Rizoma bits silver.

That's a good idea.  Should I just rattle can it?   I guess I could have it powder coated black when they ceramic coat my headers.

Powder coat will last longer than rattle can.
