5-0dro XB Case Sliders

Thanks xtreme!

Firefighter: Thanks for the input. You've made some good points but let me attempt to explain our design.

I agree. In the pictured design of the timing cover slider, the small bolts would likely shear off during an impact. In our design, the screws don't do much of the work. Our part will be made from Delrin (as opposed to aluminum) to absorb the impact and utilizes the original structure and geometry of the case to support it and keep it in place.

The problem in utilizing the 3 screws you mentioned is that they are relatively in line with one another. You get a significant amount of strength from working in triangles so a bracket in that area would not be too useful.

I hope this makes sense. If not, I'll try harder :p

Thanks again!

Keep the orders coming guys (& gals)!
 
Dro are you going to be able to order them individually or are they just going to come in a set? I would only be interested in the primary side

I think I know why ;) but the intent is to be sold per set. I'm guessing most would want it that way? I'm still interested in a smoked cover from you though...

Let me fix the list...

it's 135 before April 6th right? I'll order in a couple weeks, just short on bike money right at the moment. Been working overtime this week though just for these :D

It's $100 (after discount) until I reach 15 orders...$130(after discount) after that.

Thanks!
 
SO 100 for both or for each?
Also this to me seems like it could cause more damage then protection depending on the crash. Low speeds this does look like it would be amazing to have, but what about high speed crashes? To me it seems like a high speed lay over would break the slider off (possibly your bolts and/or case) then go to the headers or frame instead of going straight for the headers or frame. Could this be the case?
 
$100 is for both sides.

Every situation is different and high speed impacts are difficult to predict. In no way are these intended to be a forcefield for your bike but they will likely help. The part that would make contact with the ground will be made of Delrin to absorb as much impact as possible while wearing away slightly and reducing the case's chances of being damaged. For these reasons, I don't anticipate that it would cause more damage than if it weren't there.
 
Ill take the 08+ but im short on cash for now and will be saving up to sent the payment to you. Youre welcome to send me PMs hitting me up for money. I just moved into a new home so thats why im short.
