Sorry about that, fixed now in my OP

anyway, back on subject....anyone seen any sliders like that?

 

You want the T-rex's to stick out that far to save the fairings. Those look like they'd hit fairing as soon as they hit the sliders.

You can rotate the T-rex's forward out of the way.

 

I realize why the T-rex's stick out so far, and that these probably wouldn't save the fairing, but what im interested in is the mounting location.....as in....mounting sliders a bit longer like the T-rex's but in the location these are in where they are more out of the way and look a little better....

im sure you could mount any slider you want there if you have the mounting hardware, which i guess is what id be looking for.

i might just order the T-Rexes and call it a day...not sure if that location is strong enough (the one in the pictures.

 

i don't know but they look / mount somewhat like the LSL sliders.

look at mine

i like those a little better than the Trex, wonder how well they work in a crash.

 

I did a little research and it looks like the LSL sliders might be a little hard to get ahold of, not to mention being pretty expensive. They ask 84.95 for the mounting kit and 59.95 for the sliders (more if you want carbon or chrome) while T-Rex's are 59.99 for the whole kit. I like them more than the T-rex but I wonder how the protection compares since they don't seem to stick out as far.

trinc: do they seem to protrude far enough to protect the entire fairing?

 

the main body of the fairing i believe it would... the problem comes with the upper fairing stay & the mirror.

they are more expensive than the standard plastic ones but they look a ton better imo.

What is the CF part down in front of the fairings?

 

Radiator Scoops, theres a link to the page with them in the VTR parts supplier thread.

 

I decided to go ahead and get the T-Rex, I think they might offer more protection and the newer style they show on the website looks a little better with the 2 grooves in the slider (small difference but it helps a bit)

Im wondering if they will cause me any trouble fitting with the Mario Nava bodywork i just bought....hmm

any opinions? looks like the MN fairings shouldn't get in the way from comparing pics but im not positive, The newer T-Rex sliders on the site have a notch that should help them clear the bodywork.

 

I found the LSL sliders on Kneedraggers if anyones interested/for future reference

http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/...59-LSL-20.html

131 for most colors 141 for chrome or carbon, thats a big discount off the list price on speigler's site. Still a little price and Im going to stick with the T-Rexs for 59. Mounting kit alone on the LSL's goes for 75 or so.

Anyway, figured id throw this out there for anyone else looking

 

Anybody got a shot of the Speigler's on a SH?

 

Their site just had the LSL Sliders for sale, links to those are above. Kneedraggers sells them, links to that also above.

Pricey bits of plastic, i ended up going with T-Rex. Also picked up their Spools and some weldon Spool Adapters from Pitt Bull to install them with.

 

cant seem to find the parts supplier link........

 

Just curious if these would work on a 2002 VTR1000 SuperHawk? Sure seems a simpler approach than welding Aluminum, just drill a hole and hammer it in...
