They are really helpful? Should we have them on axles of the Uly? | ||

I put on some dark horses..Haven't tested them, but the pics of other testers looked like it helped... | ||

Yep! I've hit all 4 end in a single wreck, saved my forks and swingarm from rash. The Dark Horse ones that American Sport Bike sells can't be beat. | ||

Thanks, always think about but they seems a kind of stick going out of the axle, ready to hook in something else. Find this rear one at Twin Motorcycles which looks nice: http://twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/artikel.asp?guid =YXHFSC&aid=1829&cid=108&s=&a=&aname=GSG_Crash_pro tection_pads_rear_axle_XB | ||

They will not hook, there is a LOT of engineering in them to make them work and not cause further damage. | ||

I have the silver ones from Palmer Products on my bike.  | ||

I like the look of these ones so I got a set. They are well made and were the best price I could find for solid aluminum sliders. They also offer a bunch of different styles on ebay. Thankfuly I havent crashed and had to put them to the test, and hopefuly never will. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ewItem&item=320720491123&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK %3AMESELX%3AIT (Message edited by badrap on July 08, 2011) | ||

I made my own from skateboard wheels and ss threadsall. The urethane wheels absorb shock well and slow the slide..And theyre cheep! | ||
| Badrap |
I thought about that but heard the urethane grabs the road too much and can cause more harm than good. | ||

Skateboard wheels come in different compounds.The hard ones slide good on my supermoto.I did not have any problems with them catching. | ||

Rwcfrank, where'd you find the SS threadsall? Got pics of the pieces? | ||

I will try and get some pics up later. edit, be sure 12 inches is long enough I cant recall the length needed but I already had some lying around. (Message edited by rwcfrank on July 08, 2011) | ||

Here is what could happen if you don't have sliders. Thats why I got some.  | ||
| 7873jake |
Did you leave the bearings in the wheels or shim/spacer them around the threadsall? Looks like you could build a set for less than $20 | ||
| Rwcfrank |
I used stainless steel body washers I got from OSH. They fit the bearing recess in the skate board wheels perfectly and have a small center hole for the threadsall. yes they are cheep to build. Dont tell my daughter I used her skateboard, she hasn't missed it yet and it's been 6 months. | ||

LOL Rwcfrank!!! Wait till she sees the wheels on the bike! Your gonna be in deep doo-doo!!  You could tell her they make the bike faster...... | ||
| Rwcfrank |
Thanks Gunut, I have been eyeballing her scooter, I need some wheels to get my small trailer on its side and down the path on the side of my house and in the backyard. Geeze, I am a horrible father................ | ||
| Nillaice |
yep, you can make our own. i did. but the fit and finish is no where near DHM/American Sport Bike or palmer, 50-DORO, PSR, or any body with a lathe. |
