[ST] Skyking Frame sliders item 17 for the ST

["John King" <skykingskunkworks@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matt,

Sorry about the late reply to you sir. We were down at Daytona and we 
support teams which do test our our frame sliders. A Suzuki GSXR using the 
same delrin slider did go down during suspension testing at speed over 
100MPH. The slider held up fine and was worn down about 1 inch and the rider 
got up and rode the bike to the pits. We support race teams to find out if 
these things can help. I do need a volunteer to pitch an ST at speed and I 
will be happy to offer a set at no charge any takers?

All kidding aside, these bolt right on and use a 12MM stud which is larger 
than the Japanese hardware on GSXR. I am very proud of the design and do not 
think they detract from the looks of the ST. Lastly, I just completed a 
prototype set for the RS and will go for final fit check this week end for a 
production run this month. We hope that no one takes a spill but at $45 per 
side it might be worth adding to your ST.

Sincerely,
John King
