Anyone use Axle Crash Sliders/Bobbins on their Uly? I've found a few sources for them:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8035860526&rd=1&sspagename=ST RK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

http://uk.geocities.com/miscellania@btinternet.com/html/crash_bobbins.html
An outfit called AussieBuellRiders also advertises an aluminum set

Any preferences - polymer or aluminum? Will they work as claimed or are they just for show?

Thanks.

We've got aluminum ones from Dark Horse Moto (one of the board sponsors):

(see the front and spool lift ones by clicking the related products link)

And the Sato Delrin ones: http://www.americansportbike.com/shop/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi?usr=51F7889589&rnd=5306 936&rrc=N&affl=&cip=69.160.135.44&act=&aff=&pg=prod&ref=9065&cat=&catstr=HOME

Both types protect your bike in the case of a low slide slide, both will be destroyed cosmetically in the process. I don't think one material is better than the other for the given function.

2 questions.

Do they really help?

And what's the difference between the $30 for 4 ones on ebay and the $100 americansportbike ones?

I also sell the Darkhorse Moto ones Steve.
And, you'll get 15% off since you are getting the bike from me.
I am not familiar with the 30.00 for 4 ones. Are they aluminum too?
