I am looking at LSL vs Axle Jacks for frame slider protection. I like the position of the axle jack rear peg (top of the rear shocks). Looking for stories of how bikes fare with each and some pics installed.

the axljak sliders being mounted high seems like they'd protect the tank well, but the case covers look like they'd still make contact with the road. am i wrong? the LSL's being mounted right to the covers make it obvious that they'd make contact first.
This has already been done recently do a search but know the AXLJAK Sliders are far superior to the LSL. Cases will not hit and they have ones for the rear shock mounts also. Bad design, the LSL's are bolted directly to the cases which are nothing but pot metal with #6 chrome bolts. They don't protruded enough to provide protection. If you drop it on the case your going to do damage to the bolt mounting points. The AXLJAK units are bolted directly to the frame at the strongest point on the bike. They are far better made and much stronger. I run them on my Thruxton as do 90% of the Transatlantic Challenge Competitors. If you want maximum protection, then you should go with the AXLJAK Units. Hope that helps in your decision.

1. are there sliders I can attach to the end of the handle bar - I have seen LSL sliders but would it work with stock handle bar or TOMMASELLI DOMINO CLIP/ONS 41MM ?
2. How about protecting the gear shifter or rear break ?
There are no barends from AXLJAK but MotoTwin http://www.mototwin.co.uk/ does have them and they will fit the stock clipons. The rear disc is protected by the Shock mount slider and the way the tire rests on it's side.

Judging by the 1st photo, I'm guessing the muffler would get caned even with the sliders on the rear shocks? I totally agree about mounting the sliders on the casings with the small screws - not a smart place to mount it (from an aero structural engineer!). AXLJAK have the right idea.
150 dollars to protect (somewhat) a 200 case, or 175 dollars to protect a 1750 cylinder head and the case (somewhat again). Gee, only one answer makes sense.
With the cold and wet weather making me not want to ride, it gets me into a tinkering mood everytime I walk through the garage. Now that the 1200 has been out for a little while and the aftermarket is catching up, I just want to hear what have you made/purchased/modified? What horsepower and...
While surfing around the free movie channels on my new TV, I stumbled across this film called Chasing Bullitt. I'm not sure if you can call it a Bio Pic, as I have not idea if the plot is real or fiction. But the movie is set in the early 70's and is about Steve McQueen during the period...
Have long been keen on altering a Thruxton, although a beautiful machine and design, I had an alternate vision.
My plan started with:
- Remove airbox and swap exhaust system.
- Install a different tank, nothing wrong with the OEM, it’s still on most modded bikes and want to go my...
The gigantic California Compliant turn signals had to go. I replaced them with the tiny Rizoma Club signals front and back. According to this PDF you can choose 1 of 4 options for "activating" new turn signals. https://www.triumphinstructions.com/ProdDocs/A9838023-EN.pdf I thought I would...
