Mine saved my swingarm when I low-sided at 20 mph. The worst that could happen I think is that the spool mount breaks off, but thats why it was put there in the first place. You can always get a new threaded insert welded on and it'll be way cheaper than replacing the swingarm. Name Mike. And if you buy these your even better off Name Jason.

Actually they are better for all bikes. I could hardly remove it and it tweeked the swing arm a little [ Dent]. This type attaches in the same way as your axle bolt so easy on, easy off,and with no real chance of getting stuck.

I like the general concept but the main function of a spool is to give a lift point for rear wheel stands so you can take off the rear wheel, since this design incorporates the rear wheel adjustment assembly it would prohibit you from taking off the rear wheel You must log in or register to reply here.
Similar threads. A slider can offer a less obtrusive protection option than a cage or crash bars. The reason this matters is because sliders come in different lengths.
For maximum frame and engine protection, shorter sliders shine. Short sliders are also less likely to bend or snap off. Long sliders keep more of the bike off the ground. In a long-distance slide, too, they also have more material to sacrifice and be ground away before bike parts start being abraded. This frame slider is a Goldilocks length - just right! It strikes a balance between maximum elevation of the motorcycle from the macadam and keeping the bike as low as possible to minimize flipping.

However, for faired bikes, the process becomes more difficult, because the plastics often must be removed for installation, and sometimes require holes to be cut in them to allow the sliders to pass through.
Engine mount bolts are usually the strongest and best way to anchor the slider to the bike. Being fastened directly to the engine and frame helps disperse the impact load of the crash. The downside to this approach is that the mount also becomes a weak point. These offer chassis protection, but nothing for the bodywork. Some sliders, usually aluminum ones, mount integrally.
Others have mounts secured by fasteners, like washers, nuts, and bolts. Press-fit items may fare better in a bending scenario and help keep some forces from being transferred to the frame, but they may also tear away just when you need them most. Anthony equipped his Ducati with frame sliders. He's a sucker for the moto-sexy, so carbon fiber and aluminum covers were put into play.
By and large, sliders are made of some form of aluminum or plastic, or possibly both. Aluminum sliders will typically wear down more slowly over a given distance than plastic, but the coefficient of friction is higher, so it may be more apt to flip the bike over.
Plastic sliders typically glide over the surface better, but they wear down faster. Plastic-based sliders also are far more susceptible to melting, depending on what polymer is used. Sliders that utilize both materials attempt to marry the best features of each, but harbor a potential weakness at the joint where the two materials meet. Axle block sliders are a fresh take on crash protection. No saved vehicles? Use the Shop By Vehicle tool to search for parts that fit your vehicle.
