sdouble Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 That's interesting. Do you have pics of the bike with the sliders mounted ? For me, your statement is rather strange. Do you manage to grad and fold easily the side stand when you are on the bike ? Could you confirm that your shin does not hit the slider bracket when trying to up-shift ?

Member Contributer fink Posted January 12, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 12, 2016 sdouble. How about pics of your boots showing how they catch on the sliders? Jens How much were your sliders? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdouble Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hi guys here is a pic with my leg on the bike https://mega.nz/#!4IRilYaY!15clyON6jISPj7_8HikNDhvPZJxK_M2hNzqM7DxCye8 You can see that I can't shift with the proper part of the boot. The braket of the slider blocks my leg, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinigami Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I don't suppose there's any chance you may have installed the bracket upside-down? (Sorry, can't download your image- using a Mac. And, Homey don't do Flash.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herricane Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 How can I post pictures on this forum? I would like to share pictures of our Trex sliders but can't figure out how to do it. I am having no luck in pasting a link for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdouble Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 My shin shoot the braket at the very location where you put something which may be an electric cable. Prevent from shifting properly where i wear boots, and is pretty painful when I don't. How tall are you ? I'm 6'1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrypz Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm 5'8 and have no problem. The cable is for my heated vest, kind of cold these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdouble Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 update from T-REX. They did some re-design of the kit. They are going to ship one set today. I should receive the sliders within, say, 1 week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatshoutybloke Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Got around to fitting mine today and can report that I don't find the same problem that sdouble has posted about above. However, as you can see in the pic there's not a great deal of clearance between leg and bracket but at 5'10" I'm 3" shorter than he is and if my legs were longer and my knees further forward my shin might well be in contact like his. As you see, to keep the winter at bay I've also painted the bolt heads with black metal paint before installing and used Pro-Bolt's black alloy socket cap covers to tidy things up a bit. Hopefully I won't be testing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdouble Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 could you try to shift up a gear and report ? it seems that they provided you with more suitable screws than what I got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Bent Posted January 24, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 24, 2016 After going through 5 bikes so far and maybe six sooner or later I've learned when getting a new or new used bike to just go ahead and drop it, fix it, and get it over with. It isn't if but when and how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatshoutybloke Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 After going through 5 bikes so far and maybe six sooner or later I've learned when getting a new or new used bike to just go ahead and drop it, fix it, and get it over with. It isn't if but when and how. Exactly, there's only two types of biker, those who have dropped their bikes and those who are going to. Which is why we buy sliders... For sdouble - I rode it in to work this morning, boot does occasionally make contact with bracket as I'm moving about but not when changing up or down. I think the bolts I have were exactly the same but I added these... https://www.pro-bolt.com/aluminium-button-insert-m10-pack-x-10-7.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdouble Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Received today the re-designed frame sliders from T-REX. Basicaly, the spacer are much shorter and the main part (L-shaped bracket) is strongly modified http://https://mega.nz/#!YIARSAaY!4M893TJw_DgwqLr3rUD_TMzJ0-5Mcekyoy8hT4LS6bk https://mega.nz/#!QQwBGYqC!R51LvtOvscj4ZB7C5CEjzRl-q_lyVL7UBjZ5v-lr8JE I'll get that mounted this week end but at first glance, that new design seems to me much more clever.

Member Contributer Fz6wja Posted January 29, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 29, 2016 Wow the new t-Rex design looks sweet. I wonder if they will hookup us previous buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbone322 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Their website still shows the old design. Wonder if they will update the photos. Club Racer. Please post some pics when you get them installed. Top view and side view so we can see how far they stick out compared to the old design.

fatshoutybloke Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 So they've taken the corner off the puck mount and removed the front section from the back plate? I assume the slider bolts now come from the inside as those bolts can't be seen in your pictures? They certainly look sleeker but I'm not sure how much of an improvement it will be, seeing as the thing your leg makes contact with is the rear corner of the back plate which has to be pretty much in the same place, lined up with the upper bolt. I suppose the sliders have to stick out the same distance to get outside the fairing. Still, if not having the front bolt means the plate doesn't need so much clearance and the spacers can be shorter bringing the corner further in, it might make a difference. Let us know!
