Dumped my bike. What kind of frame sliders are these?

[JayArr]

Gave it too much juice on a left in a wet intersection and had a nice little highside. The frameslider took the full brunt of the fall, saving my brand new mirrors. I'm wondering if anyone knows what brand these are. They were installed by a Triumph dealer in Austin, thats all I know. (old picture)

Luckily the guy I bought the bike from gave me the stock motor mount bolts because that long aluminum part of the slider bent the bolt.

Looks like the Sky King sliders. You can find them here:

It's twords the bottom of the page. I have both sets of the engine sliders on my S3.

I'd recommend getting both. They're pretty cheap compaired to a totalled frame. :wink:

so they are the same sliders for the front and for the back? I want those long ones towards teh front of the wheel

Thanks, those look like the same ones. I'm impressed that they protected everything so well. My rear brake lever was bent in a bit and the peg folded up and thats basically all that touched the ground. My pipe is just barely scratched.

I do have one concern however: The part of the frame that goes down from the headstock and has the motor mount hole got kind of squished. It didn't bend the frame, but it just mashed the aluminum frame below where the bolt hole is. I wonder if it had been a harder crash if that could seriously damage the frame. I think I'd prefer the aluminum shaft of the slider to be about half it's length, and make up the rest of the length with plastic slider for more impact absorption and less leverage putting force on the frame.

There are different parts for the front and the rear slider. It may look a bit goofy with both on there, but they will distribute the impact force and protect the engine/frame better.

Jay: My sliders were made to order, so you can probably request changes and see if they can make it work.
