My Custom Engine Sliders

[nemoxb]

The timer cover slider is what keeps me from buying a set. I just don't like how it looks. If it looked like greasys I would have got a set by now.

Thanks 5dro..... and yes he is right guys.... his just mount differently.

Idk if I want to start making them or not just as I did kind of copy your left side. In order for me to make these I'd have to get permission from 5dro. Since we are both in the same state and we love the same bikes I dont want to step on anyone's toes or livelihood. I just build these in my little shop.

 

[greasyxb9s]

Like I said if 5dro says OK I'll make some. If not then that will be that.

I'll only make them for forum members not looking to start a business

Not true. We have variations for 03-07 & 08+ but our 03-07 are just different than greasy's

I stand corrected. My bad. Sorry about that Dro.

I'd like a custom set with gold skate wheels for my Buellah. LOL
Maybe you guys should knock heads and come up with a "bracket only" design that would allow
the bike owner to decide on roller, wheels or skid pad.
Good luck to you both

You definitely have a right to your opinion, but the "looks" of ours was secondary to the function when we designed ours. Without getting into the nitty gritty details of the engineering behind it, we felt that the timing cover location was the best place for the slider and we stand behind that.

I appreciate that very much! Do I want you to make these? Of course not! Every one you sell is potentially one less that we can sell. That being said, I have no legal right to tell you that you can or can't. As a matter of fact, this is the way that I started things...No intent on selling anything. It feels good to know that other people like you and I want to pay money for something you have made. I'll leave it up to you...

A bunch of stand up guys [up]

 

[greasyxb9s]

Like I said if I would it wouldn't be for a living and they would probably be hand made. That's a endeavor Idk if I want to takeon. I'm going to make a set for rchuff cause I owe him something for trade other then that cause of parts and lead time I would have to be paid up front for sliders and in all reality you guys can make these they are easy!!!!!

 

[greasyxb9s]

What do you guys think about using skate board wheels instead of the actual sliders?

I can get then locally but Idk about a price yet.

 

[Zeroflat24]

This is a really stupid question but i really wanna know. Have you tried using these as highway pegs yet when you dont need to be shifting?

 

[greasyxb9s]

Lol you know I was thinking that haha my bike is apart right now getting the seat rails and tail light house powder coated gloss black in preparation for my new midnight black body. I'll have it back together his weekend and I'll let you know

 

[oh9bolt]

I have used my 5-0dro case sliders that way zero flat. They work good.

 

[DrogeN Omen]

i'm keen to make a set of sliders now.

 

[greasyxb9s]

As highway pegs?

 

[rchuff]

I don't think that's a stupid question think about it, I am. Smart question zeroflat24.

 

[greasyxb9s]

I can get 4 skateboard wheels for $25 on amazon with a 99 duro. My kart tires used to duro 30's so I know 99 is freaking hard

What is the interest in these if I made them out of skateboard wheels and sold then for $80 a set shipped?

I feel obligated to buy 5-0dros parts since he lives in my neighborhood. I just need the $$$. Now that i know they work as foot rests i am even more interested

Thanks man! [up] You can come check them out any time (other than this weekend as we'll be setting up shop at Dragon VI ). You won't be disappointed. Who knows...you might even get the "neighborhood discount!" Hit me up!

With regards to "foot rests," I suppose you can get your feet on them but they're not highway pegs by any stretch of the imagination (unless you enjoy relaxing in the fetal position! LOL). I'll let you be the judge though.

Haha yeah ill probably get ahold of you sometime this spring after i get the new CT2s put on I am in desperate need of some protection for the Buell because riding around cranberry is like playing Russian roulette anymore.
