Any New Frame Sliders?

Hi Everyone,

 

From what I understand the following exist:

 

  1. R&G Frame Sliders
  2. T-REX Frame Sliders

 

Last I read was that the latter had issues with functionality and I've seen online that they are out of stock (discontinued?).  There are two options for the R&G's which do you prefer and why? Looking for a no drill if possible.

 

Thanks in advance.

There's also the GSG ones and I'm pretty sure there's another brand (https://www.gsg-mototechnik.de/)

 

Ive got MK1 T-rex fitted, but since they've stopped supplying replacement pucks for it, despite what the website may say, I've had to purchase a new complete installation ..... not at all impressed with that

T REX sells them on ebay all day long, got mine there so pay no attention to their web site , someone is not up to speed on updates.  I ordered a replacement puck from them and their shipping guy sent me a whole new set so I got spare parts now.

T-Rex have changed their design and it's the old version that has been discontinued. I've fitted some of the new ones in the last couple of weeks and am hoping not to test them.

I got them on eBay from T-Rex themselves but looking on their site the VTEC version is this... http://t-rex-racing.com/catalog.php?item=878 Cost me more with import taxes and shipping to the UK of course.

One word of caution, I was reinstalling mine after an oil change ( you have to remove them to access the one clip on the cover ) and was using my electric driver to get them snug before torquing and was holding the slider with my finger on the back side and got my finger pinched and it took a few secs to get my driver in reverse , ouch.

 

I think the torque was 35 foot pounds.

Thanks for sharing. Has anyone had the unfortunate incident and tested them?

PS: my first post

Guys,

 

I pulled the trigger on the R&G aero frame sliders. 

 

I posted a quick vid for you all so you could see what you'd be buying.  Hope this helps you all with your decision...

 

 

PS: I'm a lot more fluid off camera :P

Yes, I bloody have. On the way home from work today, on a pile of gravel at a junction with a country lane. They did their job, no damage to the lower or middle fairings at all.

That's a piss off mate, our roads are disappearing under a layer of gravel from the stone lifting, increasing numbers of junctions have ever growing areas of gravel where cars don't go but motorcycles do, I've had my traction control cut in a lot recently due to this

 

Used to be the highway authorise duty to keep the roads clean but a bunch of scumbag solicitors called Kennedys got that ruled against in a court case that killed a biker, http://www.kennedyslaw.com/casereview/gravelhighwaysact/

 

One more thing we pay for but doesn't happen ... "One of those days in England with the country going broke"
