Skyway Sliders

[tesla]

Do the delrin Skyway front sliders stick out far enough to protect the bike adequately? I've seen a few mention that some of the front sliders are not long enough to protect adequately.

If you want a set of used ones, ping me.

This site has obviously had a falling out with this vendor but are the Delrins he sold any good? Buying a bike tommorrow with a set that was never installed. Should I install them or buy something else?

The delrin, Skyway sliders have saved my front end plastic on a couple of occasions.

Skyway's delrin sliders do not have a metal insert like some others. Without that insert the delrin will compress when you tighten the bolts that go through them and you can not get an accurate torque when tightening.

Perfect clarification.

I would install them.

The ones i purchased from SKyway have the metal inserts. Haven't tested them though.

For the record, the sliders arrived promptly but with incorrectly sized bolts, which were quickly shipped to me when I notified them.

Cool. He must have changed them from the earlier ones he made. Since they have the inserts they should be fine.

Some protection is always better than no protection, I say install them. I'm running the all metal SkyWay sliders.

Mine worked very well in a sub 10mph low side in the rain.
