Hey My local HD dealer is stocking the DHM axle sliders so I got to inspect them and they are nice... But they are too nice...I've heard that people taking them off Buells so they can put them own their bikes (they are stealing them). If I put locktite on the threads, will that do the trick? I have frame axle sliders on my bike now and you need an allen wrench to take them off. I wonder if I could take a dremel to the DHM sliders and mod them to make them theft proof. | ||

DHM sliders are great, still looking for the ones stolen from my XB12R. I have thinking about how to make my next ones theft proof as well. | ||

That's the great thing about riding a Buell in Oklahoma, I'm like one of five in the state so nobody cares! You might try using red loctite instead of blue but then that will make them a b*tch to get off when you need to remove wheel. | ||

I have a front set and a rear set of DHM sliders installed on my XB12R. I used red loctite on both sides of each slider and let me tell you..... There is NO way those things are coming off unless you heat them up with a torch to break down the loctite to liquid form then twist em off with gloves! I know this because I had Pirellis installed on my ride and thats what had to be done to get the sliders off. Theft from ones bike is not usually the practice of true bikers. I think maybe a S Q U I D or poser must have crooked your stuff, bastards! | ||

I used blue loctite on mine...they definitely were not coming off by hand. I had to get a bit of scrap rubber and some Robo-Grip pliers to spin the rear off. Mine are powder-coated, I'm not about to take a torch to them. O_o |
