Knight Design Now Have Spooled Sliders

[delta one]

I know that you guys have been trying to get that for a while but have you figured out how you will light it when you get it?

Yup my plate frame has 6 bright ass lights in it, I am going to run the wire down the back. I want the back to have a small channel milled out to hide the wire in and then just silicone over to keep it in place(so no zip ties needed) and protect the wire and run the rest of the wire up the swing arm on the brake line. Plus I have an Ss so most of the brake line is covered you will never see a bit of the wire.

I'm hoping the downfacing led's from my xblights tail would be enough...otherwise maybe run some wires down, around, and up the arm to those little light up bolts most places sell?

Just ordered F/R sliders and split stainless bar-ends F/Randy today, can hardly wait to get em'...they're just what I have been looking for!.. Hey, let's pursue a "legal in all states" swingarm plate hanger idea.. I'm thinking, "slim, modern, retro S1 lightning" style, way cool with a chopped tail!

Cutom License Plate bracket really appeals to me. Think I can make something pretty trick. Might be fun to have others put in thier ideas for it, and we can mill it around a bit. I can post a 3D model of it out of Solidworks, to get some feedback on it. I'll take a look later this weekend, buried in after Christmas orders for the next few days.
Delta One, if you have a sketch or idea for your custom reservoir cover, we can help you complete the design and engrave it for you. Cost is based on how much work is required get a complete line drawing of the artwork. Some are easy, some take longer depending on if we have to pull the artwork out of a .jpg or pdf file. Extra cost is either null, or up to $20.00 extra.

Hell I want spooled for the front to it makes cleaning the wheels a lot easier.

Um. do you have two "rear" stands?

 

[konarider94]

just purchased some spooled sliders from them and a set of stands on ebay. i got the headlift stand for the front

he probably just puts the rear stand on the front, you don't need both wheels in the air at the same time to clean it.

its not a bad idea either, with my new LSL damper I can no longer use my pit bull front stand.

 

[thumpin1203]

Gotta be careful when using a lower fork stand "only" though..the bike will tip over at the slightest touch....ask me how I know! (yes, I caught it, but, whew was it a handful) A guy needs the rear on a stand too for support...

 

[crxtasy169]

I have my own lift at the house so I would just back it into the wheel chock and use the rear jacklift on the front.

 

[Miami78]

If you get the GPI industries front/rear stands you can use the spool adapters on either front or rear, so you could lift the rear with the paddle adapters and the front with the spools.

Absolutely. Unless the rear is secure, the bike can pivot around the steering head and fall over. I know this is true with a fork lift stand (and therefore if you're using slotted sliders to lift the front); I suspect it is with the other (steering stem lift) stand as well.

Just tryin' to he'p.

 

[thumpin1203]

Why yes, exactly my point, Baal!...(rotating on the steering axis is as they say, very baaaad..haha!) I have a wide stance, paddle style LP stand that brings the rear up FIRST every time from now on...& have the adjustable, vertical lower fork leg "pin style" for the front, to allow axle/wheel removal..(no real need for front spools)... seems to work well & is very secure.
