If you grab a fist-full of front brake at 10 mph, it WILL lock up the front wheel, and frame pucks are awesome. I knew better than to do it, but let's just say that I needed to stop fast, and I paid for it.

I am now in the market for the above mentioned frame puck, left foot peg, shift lever, and left front turn signal lens. I will also be looking for a new helmet. It was a low speed incident, but I do have a small impact area on the side of it. It was almost three years old anyways.

So, I guess my question is, how much of a PITA is removing and installing the frame puck?

Hey black.. What are you going to do with the right side frame puck? I am in need of a right for my wifes bike and didn't want to have a left lying around. I would be willing to split the cost with you. Just let me know.

I would be willing to do that. I am going to start calling the local dealers tomorrow to see what parts they may have in stock. As soon as I have the pucks I will let you know and we can work it out.

Hairdryer or heat gun will warm up the adhesive enough to peel-n-stick the pucks.

If you can't find a set, drop me a PM. I'm 99% sure we have one of each set (short and long wheelbases) on the shelf.

Thanks Joe, I will let you know. So how is Frederick, MD these days? I used to live in Hagerstown about 7 years ago and I used to deliver packages for FedEx ground in Frederick. The area was growing at a pretty good pace back then. Once again thanks for your support. You mind looking to see if you have any of the other items I listed?

Nice call Dbird. Yes I do have a small scrape on my swingarm that would have not been there if I had the sliders. So they will be on order shortly.
