5-0dro XB Case Sliders

[Kid1620]

Hey 50 have you thought about this aspect: say you lay your bike over at 5mph with your engine sliders installed not a big deal even if there was a pot hole and one got caught on the edge of that pot hole but take that speed up to about 40. One of those catches an edge and say goodbye to your crankcase.

Just a thought!!

Valid thought. Thank you for your input. Yes, we definitely put a significant amount of thought to that. Our design mitigates that risk by using high performance resin sliders which are compliant. Their compliancy is intended to absorb impact while they "shave" or wear down on the pavement or whatever they go down on (also absorbing energy). If the sliders were aluminum or harder this risk would be much greater. That's also why we recently opted for stronger hardware. This was designed to keep the base (and the engine case) in tact while the sliders to the work.

That being said, these case sliders can't be expected to be a "force-field" for your engine cases. As you mentioned, things get very unpredictable at higher speeds (road surface effects, flipping, etc) so the sliders cannot be expected to save your engine cases in every situation but we intend for them to give your engine cases a better chance at survival than if they were not there.

Can't wait,  when do you think they will be ready to ship?

The last of the parts are due back to me around May 1st so no long after that. May need a few days to complete the installation instructions after I have all the final parts in hand but I'll definitely ship as soon as I can.

Let me know if you have t-shirts by then and maybe we can just ship them together. Thanks

Thanks! If it goes as planned, I'll have them (the shirts) by mid April.

Hmm still offering introductory price? This is tempting if my Hawk pipe sells.

Must have gotten caught up in your spam or something? I enabled you from my end so you should be good to go. Let me know if you have any further issues.

Thanks!

PS - Also enabled 2 other people.

No instructions needed, (I've had the LSL sliders) just ship mine early

Haha! I don't think my insurance company would agree...

Not to worry...I think I can get some good shots before the last parts arrive and finish the instructions, even if some of the parts have to be prototypes. [up]
