Rigged up some swingarm sliders, used a set of Lockhart Phillips made for a GSXR,# 464-0020, 5/16th threaded rod, and SS locking nuts...bolted one puck to one end of the rod, then put the rod through the axle hole and bolted the other puck on..about 20.00 total.  | ||

Their are a few that will work I have also done the some will get the part #'s I have spool sliders that are Black that were made for a R6 also some white ones that are just solid and some aluminum spools that I'm afraid to use they might grab and put the bike into a flip not good!!!!I tested my sliders out a few months ago,they worked great!!!I'll get some pictures and post them soon.Also have been working on frame sliders the first set don't look to pretty I'm working on another set now the pucks that Buell just came out with are o.k not bad for the price.Almost used they again this weekend in Suches G.A on Hwy 60 north of Hwy 180 a couple of buddies with M.O.B racing(men on bikes)were dragging Knees and I broke the rear tire loose recovered it but it slowed me down for a few miles!!!Always had a hard time getting that right knee down.O what a feeling it is!!!!To ride a Buell!!!!Hope to see everyone at the Ridge run in september!!! | ||

Here's Shred's sliders. And the proof they work.    | ||

Great idea!! I would like to put them on my XB9S, but I can't find the part number you mentioned at the Lockhart site. Could you recommend an on-line vendor and their part number for the sliders. Thank you very much | ||

Been thinking along similar lines for a while, this thread spured me on a little. Took 2 quality nylon skateboard wheels a length of threaded bar and 2 locking nuts. The results..  Cost under £10 | ||

That is just ingenious Beast! Looks good! Thanks for the idear~ | ||

How are you guys keeping them centered on the axle? The hole in the axle is bigger than 5/16", isn't it? Is there some kind of taper on the backs of those sliders that sets and centers them on the axle hole and will keep them from banging around in there in the event of a slide? I'd like to do something similar before the RtR adventure (hey, gotta protect all the spiffy new bodywork, right?  ). | ||
| Glitch |
These aren't the right ones but you'll get the picture. The small end goes inside the axcel. Shred had to machine the ones he uses down a little to et it to fit nice.  | ||
| Darthane |
OK, figured as much. Looks like I'm heading to a rice-burner shop this week. | ||

Here is what I am going to do to center the rod and protect the axle. Cut a length of CPVC pipe the exact length of the axle (or a little less)... run the threaded rod through the CPVC... put a stainless steel crown nut on one side using loctite stud and bearing... and a stainless steel nut with a nylon insert on the other. What do ya think??? (formerly dasxb9s - still over engineering when unnecessary) (Message edited by dasbuell on August 17, 2004) | ||

Das I think that's what Shred did, but can't be sure. If he didn't I'm sure he will after reading this. He's a great fabricator, built me a shifter after I broke mine and there were none in stock. | ||

Does anyone remember the sight that sells the frame sliders that Hals uses also there body work and such I can't find it??? | ||
| Boulderbiker |
www.racingmotorcycles.com sells the sliders that Kosco uses, as well as the bodywork that all the race teams are using. | ||

Thanks Boulder!!! | ||

Guys... Stand by - I have developed some swing arm sliders specifically for the Buell XB series. I plan to offer two different lengths and probably different finishes. I've got the plain finish on my bike now. I'm working on a BadWeB sponsorship and plan to have pictures and pricing shortly. Keith | ||
| BadS1 |
Good deal keith. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
SWEET! | ||
| Darthane |
Black, please. LOL | ||

Why can't I type S k u l l y any more? Are these only for the swing arm, or is this just the beginning? | ||

Why can't I type S k u l l y any more? For reasons unknown, Blake did that. Are these only for the swing arm, or is this just the beginning? Just the beginning... Black, please. LOL Your wish has been granted. I should have a set of black powder coated ones today or Monday. I want to get some anodized but that may prove to be more expensive. More to follow.

why metal? Plastic digs in less from what I've read. | ||

My proto types are almost done. I bought the wrong damn size pvc pipe. 30$ for 2 skatebord wheels n a pack of skateboard bearings and under 10$ for the threaded rod,washers,locknuts,and insulfoam. | ||
| Darthane |
Why the bearings, Donnie? | ||
| Chgojim |
i am not an engineer or anything...but i would be careful with using skateboard wheels. i have broken a number of in-line hockey wheels, while playing roller hockey. wheel broke in half on both occasions, axle and bearings were the only thing left on the skate chassis. i know skateboard wheels have a larger width, smaller diameter, and harder durameter, i'm just bring up the question. i think the skateboard wheels would be great for a knock-over...i would be interested to see how hold they hold up in a low-side, going over 30mph. correct me if i'm wrong...i'm following this thread closely and will most likely do one of these suggestions to my xb. some great ideas so far. | ||
| Stonecoldbuellin |
I went with the bearings because i didnt know if theyd have to spin n if they did i wanted em to spin good. I went with the skateboard wheels because im a cheap bastage sometimes,and im hoping to NEVER have to test them,plus they look friggin sweet. | ||
| Glitch |
Hmmm, slider spinaz... | ||
| Stealthxb |
Stonecoldbuellin... Post some pics when you get 'er done. | ||

Thanks Black9, I just went to the local parts store to order some white ones (LP #464-0020W) for $20. I was hoping they'd have them in stock so I could put them on before hitting the track this weekend, I'll just have to try and stay upright. At least I'll have the frame sliders on by then, thanks Dave! | ||
| Stonecoldbuellin |
     I dont know if i like them or not yet,my neighbor thought i went n bought a pair so i guess thats good. I'm thinking mabye smaller diameter and a little more width,and mabye some acorn nuts with lock washers instead of nylock nuts. (Message edited by stonecoldbuellin on August 20, 2004) |
