Author Message   Mideon Posted on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 - 02:14 pm:        Thinking of getting some for my 2008 XT. Any thoughts? Experiences? Thanks!   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 - 02:18 pm:        Darkhorse Moto, get a set of both fork and swingarm sliders. The luggage will take the rest of the blow.   Mideon Posted on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 - 02:24 pm:        Preference/thoughts of which type they have is best Froggy?   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 - 02:43 pm:        Whatever fits your wallet the best. I have crash tested the aluminum ones with derlin buttons on several occasions on several bikes. Hell, once I got all 4 corners to hit in one wreck   Mnrider Posted on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 - 04:02 pm:        I have the Palmer alum. ones,very nice!   Badrap Posted on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 - 05:49 pm:        I have custom ones I've made out of billet aluminum to replace the bar ends and made sliders for the front and rear axles. I have a pic but it's on my phone and I don’t have the cable here to get them downloaded from the phone.   Pso Posted on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 - 08:00 pm:        the early 06 folks made them out of skate board wheels. For tip overs and slow speed stuff they were claimed to work ok, particularly on rear. Much less expensive.   Badrap Posted on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 - 11:16 pm:        Here are the ones I'm running on my bike right now. These are all one of a kind, made out of 6061T6 aluminum. Here is one I made as a direct replacement for the factory ones. They all retain the hand guards. I'm going to sell these ones.   Clang Posted on Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 10:43 am:        I bought some delrin ones off *bay when I first bought my bike in Jan '06. I think they are still selling sets (front & rear) for $20-30 complete. Try a search for "buell sliders" They are a generic fix somebody put together but I've been happy with them for the price I paid. They've held up fine on my bike, but I have not seriously tested them yet (and I hope I never do).   Mnrider Posted on Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 10:45 am:        Great job on those Badrap,sharp!   Badrap Posted on Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 11:44 am:        Thanks Mnrider. I put a grove in the throttle side bar end for an o-ring (visible in the pic) to use as a throttle "lock". It does'nt lock it but it does create some friction but the mighty thunderstorm 1203's vibration eventually lets the throttle back off as you go down the highway. I'm thinking of trying a thicker o-ring when I find one.   Ratbuell Posted on Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 12:28 pm:        Hell, once I got all 4 corners to hit in one wreck Froggy? You, sir...have a gift. Truly.   Badrap Posted on Tuesday, March 02, 2010 - 12:46 pm:        These are all one of a kind sliders that I made. Here is my right fork slider. my original intent was to make it look like a revolver cylinder by putting brass casings in it but I never got around to it.
