Replacement 'Moko' style Aluminum Sliders

[JamesK]

Skyway - perhaps I missed it, but are they available for the 06? It looks like the 06 has direct access to a large fastener probably an engine mount, that could make brackets not necessary?

Don, you are right that there is direct access to the engine mount bolt, so no additional brackets are required, as the fairing has now changed on the '06 exposing the bolt needed for the slider.

I am hoping to get up close to an '06 as soon as I can find a willing owner near to me to do a fit check. As soon as this happens I will offer a complete mounting solution for the '06 FJR.

I will also supply the mounting hardware required to the peeps who previously purchased a set of my sliders for their '06 FJR.

Skyway, I am anxiously awaiting my '06 FJR and would like to get a set of your very cool sliders, please add my name to your list, thanks. Just curious why the sliders sold on the Yamaha Europe site look like they come with a chunky bracket? Also, if the Moko's are supposed to not be sufficient to offer full faring protection then these are not likely to either Any thoughts/comments from people who've tried these?

Never heard of the Moko's not offering enough fairing protection? While they are closer to the tupperware than some of the other offerings out there, they will indeed prevent fairing rash in a slide/tipover.

Despite this, I specifically made my slider 10mm longer than the Moko puck for anyone who may be concerned about it. Other than piece of mind, it does offer one small advantage in that if you tipover the bike and scratch it, there is ample material to take a small skim cut from the face and be good as new.

I'm not a machinist, but it looks like the 1 bolt on the 06 Moto GSG is .510" O.D. X 3.75" length. The other .510" X 4.250". One step down spacer is 38mm and the other is 28mm. One bolt on the thread is M12X1.25X110 55Nm. The other is M12X1.25X100 55Nm. Hey it's in German. What can I say? Go to the link for a general pic. Click on Yamaha, and go to Y31. PM. <>< :huh:

Skyway, I also like the looks of your sliders. Will be watching to see how your "fit check" for the 06A turns out.

However it turns out for what I have already made, rest assured that whatever I release to you guys will fit perfect.

Thanks for the response skyway. Hope my post didn't sound anything other that complimentary. I was just trying to reference your answer to dcarver for the 06's on page two.

I'll take a compliment any way I can get it.

Ok peeps, I have a plan to get up close and personal with a spanking new '06 early next week. (as if there was any other kind out there right now)

Sit tight folks while I get this all figured out.

Glad you still have some! A check is in the mail today for a pair of your aluminum bobbins. I think they'll match up great on my '05 with the top gun bar ends.

Thanks.

Check is in the mail - save me a pair! Thanks -

Skyway,

I'd like a set of sliders for my '06 that I did't get yet. How do I get a hold of you?

There will be seperate thread for the '06 version once I get them finished. Stay tuned.

Skyway, I took your post to mean you have more than one pre-06 pair of the aluminum bobbins left. If you have only one pair remaining, please send them to MikeYork5, since he spoke up first.

Wasn't trying to break in line, I can wait for the next batch if need be.

I have an ample supply of the pre '06 for anyone who wants them. The '06's are coming next.

Skyway,

I know you aren't in production *YET*! Can I preorder?

If you can get me a picture of one + how to order it, I will include the picture / information in next week's release of Drivers Log in the SampleDatabase (it might help some)!

Best regards,

Shane

I'll tell you what, ride into my shop, I'll machine you a set while you wait for free! That offer applies to anyone who can make it to Sonora. My email account is going off da hook for these sliders.

Other than an aftermarket seat, do you know anybody who has ever had a ride-in for free billet aluminum farkles?

I have the concept designs complete, but until I get the required dimensions and am happy with the fit/finish on the '06, I will not be posting any images. As soon as this happens,(and that time is approaching VERY SOON) I will be happy to give you any photo's/cad images you want.

Well, the offer still stands when get the photos / order information to me!

If the planets align, before the end of next week I should have these babies coming off the machine. A new '06 owner has come to my aid and has offered to bring his spanking new FJR to my shop for mass measurement mid week.
