are those the t-rex sliders? did the frame sliders touch the ground?
Yes they are and no they didn't. I was kinda surprised actually. They have plenty of clearance.Originally Posted by kauaiian

Those are some sweet pics!
Nice Pix, wish I could have made. But somebody did not tell. LOL
are those the trex ones?Yeah, I crash a lot.
As stated above, yes. They are T-rex frame and fork sliders.
Since there seems to be so much interest in the sliders, here is my review.
I bought them pretty early on in their development apparently, and ran into some fitment issues when installing. The threaded rod for the fork sliders was too big to fit through the axel and the frame sliders werent cut right and wouldn't fit where they bolt betwen the frame and engine.
I was able to modify the frame sliders with a dremel and now they fit fine. It was an easy fix and took 5 minutes. I contacted T-rex about the rod, and they immediately sent me the right size, no charge of course. I still had to trim the length, but again it was an easy fix with the dremel.
So far, I haven't had any trouble with clearance and I've had the bike pretty far leaned over. I don't see them causing any problems when cornering. I think the tires will let go before the sliders touch down enough to cause an accident.
I think they have fixed the fitment issues since then, and their customer service was good, so I would recommend them to others. I haven't tested the sliders yet, thankfully, but they seem like they would help in the event of a crash. I'll let you guys know how they do when that day eventually comes.

Doh! missed the previous post Joe. Thanks for the review. I have some on order and should get them next week. I just got the engine ones for now but will end up getting the front and rear too next payday. Trying to sneak mods in here and there past wife s I have to go slo LOL.
No problem.
I didn't end up getting the rear ones from them, just put on some generic spools that I had laying around so that I could use a rear bike stand.
Great pics!!! Yea I just installed my trex sliders and there was NO fitment problems what so ever so I guess they fixed whatever previous problems there were
