They look longer then the standard run of the mill sliders. I have Shogun sliders and they seem shorter than these.

[damond]

Why does your front stand not hold the forks/wheel straight?

Never noticed. I am assuming its because the bike is parked on a slope. As you can see in the pic, the ground slopes down to the left.

 

[damond]

The stand can simply be twisted to the left a bit, right?

FYI - TRex Racing has three of those sliders in stock. They just didn't bother listing it on the website because they only had three...weird business practice. I ordered one, so two in stock

Well, after about three weeks of waiting and return shipping and waiting, I got the sliders but they are regular length. Pretty disappointed.

First attempt, they sent me R1 sliders. Returned them and was promised reimburstment for return shipping, which I have not recieved yet.

Today, I was excited to receive the package from Trex, but I was completely let down when I pulled the plastic packaging out to see regular length sliders....in fact, they are 2mm shorter than the Shoguns I have on there now!

It's like waking up after a drunken night of partying and seeing a fat greasy chick lying next to you.

These are what they sent me:

call them up and specify you want the longer ones. the long ones are fairly rare from what I have noticed...

you might be able to just send them the 'pucks'.

 

[kiloechoxray]

Thats pretty long. I have to wonder if at that length they wouldn't shear off in a fall.

 

[misterjj]

Definitely get the longer ones if you can. I just tested them out. Over the weekend someone backed into my bike in a parking lot and knocked it over. The only scratches I got were on the front wheel fairing and rear tail section, foot peg and clutch lever. The sliders protected the rest, not a scratch or ding on any of the side fairings.

Damn, that sucks! Did you get the driver, are they gonna pay for the damages?

Nope. Never saw the person that did it, and there were no witnesses. :cuss

 

[bjbaxter]

wow!! thats some bullshit!! maybe you should get even longer sliders now! haha. sucks theres damage but at least u got away with the little bit you did

 

[lunchbox101]

well...heres the shogun sliders for comparison

 

[canibaldude]

i talked to the t-rex makers and they started making the t-rex sliders shorter because the guy claimed the longer ones were prone to bending and not working as good as the shorter ones... guess thats why u didnt get the long ones?
