My "Sato Racing" sliders have held up extremely well. Four falls and no damage to forks or swinger. Pride....whole 'nother issue. See Al or Joanne @ Americansportbike.com NUTS |

Delrin is the dense plastic. DHM looks to have a combination billet/delrin slider. They looked awesome. |

Interesting timing – I was working on this release while waiting on hardware to arrive. My plan was to introduce the new composite (Delrin/aluminum) sliders tomorrow. But I’ll give you guys a sneak preview. I apologize for the photo. I had to run back to the shop and take them just now. Ok BadWeB - You asked for it and have waited patiently. We hope that you are not disappointed. We evaluated several different designs, even using ANSYS to provide structural analysis. This design was finally chosen to provide protection and ease of installation, all at a reasonable price. We will not sell something that we would not use on the bike that I ride and race. Introducing the new DarkHorseMoto Composite Sliders! The aluminum portion has the same fit and quality that you have come to expect from DarkHorseMoto with a replaceable Delrin button on the end. The spool portion is designed to accept most wheel stands. - As with our aluminum Stealth and Racing sliders, DHM sliders have unique features that were designed just for your Buell XB. These are not universal fit. - Our customers have proven that DHM sliders work. We have however, used their feedback to improve our products. The flanges on these are now 50% thicker than our legacy sliders and we have increased the size of the stainless steel all thread rod while maintaining lightweight. - The left side slider has wrench flats for tightening during installation. - Acetal Delrin was chosen for its strength, impact and abrasion resistance. - The Delrin button will be available separately. - Kits are complete with all mounting hardware, thread locking compound, and installation instructions. - DHM Composite Fork Sliders will follow shortly. Left, the Racing Slider. Center and right, new Composite Sliders
