The LSLs? There was a post a few months ago displaying how they didn't hold up at all in a low slide. I think everyone on the badweb would recommend the pucks. They have been tested many times over. |

+1 Pucks. Tested for functionality on both sides... |

Ohhh, and pick up some Dark Horse Moto swing arm sliders... After the pucks, it's the best ~$55 you can spend on this bike. |

I give the thumbs up to the Dark Horse Moto's too. I got the "race ready sliders", they mate to the jack stand. I also see they've got a delrin puck for $35. Either the $55 or the $35 will help save big $$$ when you become a proctologist [aka asphault inspector]. |

RhinoMoto fork and swingarm sliders. Crash tested, Smiley approved. Just highsided my ride and the frame, swingarms and forks were untouched thanks to the sliders and pucks. Dunno what else to say about em. An ounce of pervention vs. a pound of cure. |

+1 on the Darkhorse moto sliders. I have the race ready swingarms sliders and love em. Pick up a set you won't be disappointed. |

I've seen the frame munged up from someone just tipping the bike over and it had pucks.. I think those carbon fiber frame covers are the way to go, Hell you could even put a puck over them.. |

+2 on Dark Horse Moto. Dropped my XB9S on the FIRST ride with them and they (swingarm and bar-end) worked as advertised. No brainer for a USA-made product. Oh, the Buell frame pucks are great, too. |
