Does anyone have any crash experience with the LSL sliders or the frame pucks? The LSLs seem like they would keep important parts further off the ground in a crash but I worry about them causing damage to the parts they are attached to.

Pucks are simple and cheap but don't look like they would protect very good in a crash. Anyone with crash experience with pucks?

Hi Joel,

We also have a complete line of axle sliders designed exclusively for the Buell XB. If you go to our website, http://www.darkhorsemoto.com, you can view not only our products, but also those that have been crashed.

If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me an email at darkhorsemoto@earthlink.net.

Thanks,
Keith
DarkHorseMoto, L.L.C.

I can say that Keith's products do their job very well. We have a set on our race bike.

That being said, the frame pucks do their job well also.

As per the LSL setup, if you search, I believe they are prone to busting and gouging the frame.

As soon as you make a set that is machined with flat sides (for a wrench of your choice) I will be in hog heaven. Quick tire changes are a challenge.

Will you be at TWS this weekend? We will : D

Unfortunately we won't be at TWS. We will be assembling and packing sliders!

The pucks do a very good job of protecting the frame. When I highsided my XB12, both sides hit very hard with no frame damage. Both footpegs broke off and the shifter. The most expensive damage was the shifter shaft being bent. It requires engine removal and splitting cases to replace.

Huh? Not to hijack a thread, but since when did bending the shifter shaft require splitting the cases? Was something else damaged (the thing the shifter shaft mounts to or the shifter drum)? Is that a new tranny thing?

On my tuber when I had it apart, the shifter shaft was an assembly... it required removing the clutch / stator / primary chain assembly, but did not require case splitting.

The XB's re different than the tubers. Believe me, the cases need to be split to replace the shifter shaft. I confirmed with Henry Duga before I had the work done. The bike ran fine for a couple of races after the highside, but the next race after that on lap 4, it stuck in 3rd gear and would not go up or down. If you look closely at the XBRR's you will see a small protrusion from the primary cover to protect the shifter shaft from crash damage.

Thanks for the info Dave! That's an important bit of trivia. I will have to dig through my service manual and see what changed.
