RE: [ST] Front Master Cylinder Upgrade

["Heyer, Matthew A." <mheyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

If I remember correctly (and I may not...), I thought that someone mentioned
some time ago that when the bike dropped, the frame cracked where the frame
sliders took the force of the impact; thus the thought that it saved some of
the other parts, but put the frame out to pasture.  Again, I may be
recalling that incorrectly.

Spud, no ill will here, but this is EXACTLY how rumors get started.  NO ONE 
I know has ever had problems with the SKYKING frame sliders.  There are 
those that have suffered ill effects in a get off with the MOKU sliders.  
Most notably Brian Duelm, where his frame broke when he high sided at a 
lowly 15 mph or so.  OTOH, I lo-sided and then the bike HIGH-sided itself at

well over 60 mph and my SKYKING frame sliders worked as advertised.  Meaning

the delrin wore away and the aluminum shaft bent as designed under great 
pressure, but protected my oil cooler and radiator from damage.  The result 
was a bike that was still ridable although untimately a total due to other 
damage.

I have another set of Skykings sliders on my current ST, and will always 
have them.
