EcoSliders - An Engineered Alternative!

We've designed these sliders for the discerning Buell XB rider who places a high value on performance without a high price:


EcoSlider Axle Kit


(The scratches on my swing arm are a result of *not* using sliders!)


EcoSlider Fork Kit


All hardware is made from 18-8 stainless steel. These high quality Acetal Delrin sliders can be installed in minutes with ordinary hand tools.

The EcoSliders can be found at http://www.darkhorsemoto.com and many of BadWeB's fine sponsors.

Man! I'd sure like one of the new Dark Horse Moto T-Shirts to go with my composite sliders. : D

Oh, darn! I thought "eco" sliders were going to be made out of tofu and come with an Al Gore seal of approval!

Cool! Cheapskates of the world unite!

I have a track day coming up in Oct, and $35 for a rear swingarm protector feels like a pretty prudent investment.


How necessary are the front sliders? I hate to tack any extra weight up there...

Jeremy - I've not forgotten you. I emailed Glitch last night to check on the status of the logo.

I'm a cheapskate and these look great. I wish they would have been around before I bought my stealths.

This may be a silly question, but are the EcoSliders machined to stay centered within the axles?

I wish I knew the answer Jeremy! Riding in East Tennessee ranks among the best in the States and there there's The Dragon! I'm definitely looking forward to it!

Not a silly question at all. Yes, they will stay centered on the axles.

The EcoSliders have the same unique features that the Signature and Composite Series have that make them fit a Buell and only a Buell. We didn't adapt them from some other bike.

Good timing for my busted XB9S!

I'll be ordering both sets when the bike is almost done getting repaired.

Thanks!

Thank you Norm. I'm glad to hear that you are ok.
