What is the best way to protect your frame from a crash? Frame pucks or carbon fiber? | ||

Both and fr and rr axle sliders, and barends. GT - JBOTDS! EZ  | ||

Crash in grass? | ||

Axle sliders from Dark Horse Moto (site sponser) are very nice. I have them on both of our bikes. Frame pucks from Buell are economical and they work. | ||

Frame pucks are less expensive and work. Carbon is more, looks cool and works. The swingarm and front axle sliders look good and work. Of course I can hook you up with any of them you want and save you 10% to boot! | ||

You can do CF over your Frame pucks like I did. Mine fell off my jack stand in the garage and took a direct shot on the puck. Not a scratch!  | ||

I have dropped my XB three times (not moving...or very fast)...after going years without dropping a bike. I cannot find a single scratch on the bike (the brake lever does have a funny/custom looking bend now, and I had to replace the clutch lever). I have the frame pucks and front and rear sliders, however, don't overlook the rear footpegs/support brackets. I think the bike looks better without them, but I leave them on the bike as an extra safety measure...to catch the bike when/if it falls. As one of my friends said, the Buell is made expecting it to fall down...notice the rubber turn light extensions?  Cyko Bob | ||

How do the pucks attach to the frame? Dave what would it cost me to get a set of pucks sent to Perth Australia? also are the sliders you have the same as dark horse? What would is cost to have pucks and sliders sent? | ||

How do the pucks attach to the frame? Peel and stick stuff on the back. | ||

How do the pucks attach to the frame? You just screw them into the frame. J/K don't do that ! | ||

Black Sun, didn't your footpeg break?  Fiery | ||

the best frame protection i have found is the crossroads bars, if you have a lightning. i wrecked my bike at high speeds, and the crossroads took most of the damage. the frame or the frame pucks didnt touch the ground. | ||
| Black_sunshine |
Fiery...Nope....actually took a chunk out of my epoxy treated garage floor. I was pretty amazed after reading on this board about how soft they are. | ||

Grasshoper, I'll tell Dave you have some questions. He's deer hunting so it won't be until after dark. I do know he sells the Dark Horse sliders because I got mine from him. | ||
| Daves |
The pucks are 44.95 The front sliders are 44.95 The rear sliders,reg style are 44.95 Racer style are 62.95 Shipping thru the US mail would be,I am guessing 25-30.00 or so. I have everything in stock and will be back at work Tuesday if you want to place an order with me. 920-757-1651 ask for Dave in the sales dept. Thanks! | ||
| Grasshoper |

Black Sun, you got lucky, well I've had this problem with dropping my bike when I get some gravel under my feet and have gone thru, Hmm let's see, I think it's 8 now.   Hehe Maybe I shouldn't be admitting that.  But, they have saved from hitting my frame. I just carry extra pegs now, just in case. But, it has almost been a year since the last time in Daytona. lol Hey Daves, I hear my bike looks Brand New, all clean and polished, Thanks Dude! Can't wait to rip down that track or a stretch of some lonely country road. I wanna ride, I wanna ride, I wanna ride!!!!  | ||

Just a question about the sliders, why aren't they offered in the colored nylon/teflon? | ||
| Daves |
Wsp, The pucks are Buell products The swingarm and front fork sliders are from DHM(DarkhorseMoto) Coolice, Keithe,DHM doesn't make the teflon/nylon sliders. Only aluminum ones. They are available in either plain alum or black powdercoated. | ||

Here is a crash photo from one of our BadWeB members of what can happen without sliders:  And here is a photo from one of our BadWeB members with DHM sliders:  We also sell the sliders separately if you are unfortunate enough to need them! Keith | ||

As far as the frame pucks go, I can tell you from watching my bike go down on it's left side at 35-40 MPH with a buddy of mine on his way down. It ground the puck almost all the way down, but not a mark on my frame. Now I just wished I had the front and rear sliders on!!! oouuch!  Well worth the money!!  |
