R&G

[nilla]

has anybody used/seen/heard of R&G frame sliders?

it looks like a bar with palstic sliders that bolts to teh front jug/isoaltor and makes contact before the frame does on a tip over.
i know the pucks are sposda keep the frame from getting messed up.

R&G makes other products for buell, but i am primarily interested in the frame sliders. i have teh powers sutnt worx crash cage, and am looking for something less bulky.

teh?

You know.... that most likely started out as a typo, and now it's internet slang. I don't get it.

As for the sliders, there's a similar set, I don't recall the company, but they mount closer to the engine, where normally a right side scoop would be and you have to drill/cut out the left side scoop. I'll poke around and see if I can find it and post the link for you. Lower profile and less noticeable then the ones you posted and much less bulky then a full STUNT cage

I'm sure you could find better/cheaper/closer suppliers if you googled the slider you like.

sorry about the 'teh's. it is a typo, and im not trying to be funny about it.

the LSL is over half the price for seemingly less than or equal to half the protection. it only uses one of the fron jug mount bolts, and the right side bolt is the one with a weaker interface to the jug.

the sato looks like a good way to put too much leverage on the W bracket mounts and tear open the frame/gas tank. again about the same price as the R&G, but with a sub-standard mounting position. i mean 2 1/4-20 bolts?!?! what a joke!

the front isolator bolts are 7/16-14 NC IIRC, and one of those still sheared off when i wrecked it big time last year. i firmly believe it saved the bike from being a total loss. there is just no great place to mount to fro frame sliders. but the front isolator is the least-worst option.

BuellerPilot; thankyou for your input
so any one else know anything about R&G?

I bang out a teh occasionally when I type too fast. I usually try to fix it unless I'm in a really big hurry.
