Looking for cheap alternative to protect my gs
I bought some round stock to make sliders but need a longer bolt/rod to mount them.
I was looking at making a slider mounted onto the ignition rotor cover. I have a piece of 4" diameter material to be cut to 1" thick and bolt it to the cover. Just something else to play with since I have an extra cover with some grind to cover up.
Case savers would provide the most protection though.
im looking for something to protect like the whole side of the bike and not just the cases..but the...frame, tank, and signals. I wanna be able to drop it and not worry about it

Never known anyone who WANTED to drop there bike :lol:
Sorry I'm a little bored today :oops:
I know what you mean John. A friend of mine told me about building me some protective bars running from the top/side fearing into the oil cover. I haven't done it yet, but definitely think it'll work. I've looked all over for frame sliders but haven't found any since the fearing is too far away from the frame. LEt me know how it turns out.
My pal Mike made some for his supermoto. I am going to send this thread to him and maybe he can post what he did. :)
they don't look bad, i'd say technically any frame slider would work, you would just have to find a longer bolt to go in, which i'd think you could get at any hardware store, even bicycle pegs or something, i just came back from stuntfest over the past weekend, and i saw quite a few different kinda sliders, and a fwe kids just had thick bicyle pegs for frame sliders, but the only thing i've wondered from looking at the bike, is the bolt is pretty close to the frame, so i wasn't soo sure about clearance, the sliders might have to be ground down a little, i'll take a betterl ook at them today
