Doesn't look like any damage to the wheel, they may be superfluous... I made them anyway, not 100% happy with how they turned out, plus it took a long time! klrtovfr, hope you walked away!
Doesn't seem like anyone makes a rear axle slider for the VFR - lack of interest or another reason?
Seems like the cush drive/axle nut would take a battering if it went down on the left...
I have an 80mm x 210mm rod of delrin on my desk that I'm going to turn into some axle sliders, should be a fun project!
Is it worth making a few sets?
