how far should the sliders stick out from the fairings in order to provide addiquite protection in a slide? is there only one size? because mine seem to only stick out maybe an inch or two. And if they are suppose to stick out further can you put washers on there to help with the length?

 

Everyone has their favorite slider. I would think that a longer bolt with more than one washer may cause a bigger chance of shearing the bolt or causing damage to the area where the bolt is placed. ie engine case if that is where it is located. I liked the build on these sliders personnally.

Mine stick out about 1 1/2" once the glass it placed it looks like.

 

funny i think those are the same sliders and set up i have on my bike. so i guess how they set is normal then. thanks again man.

 

anyone seen the lockhart phillips carbon inlay sliders in person ive only seen pics and they look kinda short and stubby hoping they were normal size want to order but cant seem to find dementions anywhere not really sure what proper dementions are anyway

 

i have seen those but dont know the dimesions of those. but the demensions of my frame sliders are 3 3/8 from the frame to the end of the slider.

 

thanks i just want them to look and work rite thought thety might go well with my bike that has no sliders at all now. nice levers by the way i just installed a set just like em bout a week ago with some help from fellow forum members.where you get the bar ends i saw some from lockheart phillips but they were plain carbon didnt have the zxr engraved. my levrs didnt have a dial adjuster on the clutch though just the brake

 

Sliders are there to protect the frame not the glass. Mine stick out about 1.5 to 2 inches and the last 2 times down, on left and 1 right side, the sliders saved the glass from any major damage.

 

hope the carbon inlay ones protect and work rite will find out in about a week just ordered them from my local shop mite b a dumb question but wadda ya mean by GLASS

 

The Fairings, should have said plastic that is what all the street ones are made out of.

I have found that the nylon or derlin sliders will work the best. Stay away from the billet ones, they look cook but do not work for sheet!

 

xyz1000rri got the bar ends off of an ebay store they were only like $20 + s/h not a bad deal. i will see if i can locate the name of it.
