New Sliders Installed!!!

If I had a bike I would be interested because these sliders are nice looking and I like the fact they are mounted the way they are, no cutting.

Hopefully Bike Design will drop the price quite a bit for a bulk buy. Wish I could say how they hold up in a crash but I'm not about to test that one for you guys

20 year necro-post update...tested them out today! Hopefully some of the old timers on this forum will like this.

Little background,
This afternoon I decided to modify my clutch lever so that the clutch begins to engage almost as soon as it moves away from the bar instead of within a ½" of being fully extended. Success! Out for a ride and love that it now engages like every other bike I've ever owned. Why didn't I do this decades ago?

So I'm at a red light that refused to turn green. I go to move more towards the center of the sensor pad in the road, and that's when 20 years/30,000 miles of muscle memory took over. :drool: Not thinking, I let the clutch out about 90% (where it used to engage) which caused the bike lurch forward, hand on throttle moves back and the bike really starts to take off from under me and goes down on the right side. Traffic everywhere, and even with a black face shield on my helmet, I don't think I've ever been more embarrassed in my life. Picked the bike up and got out of that town quick.

I rate them 99% effective.
Happy to say my pristine plastics are still showroom new, there was zero contact with the asphalt! :super:
I did find a small mark on the lower inside edge of the muffler. If OCD gets the best of me, I do have a brand new pair of factory cans on the shelf for just such an occasion.
