[ST] Re:Warning on Frame Sliders
Hi John,
Sorry about the late reply we were off to Vegas on the 4th and then to
Laguna Seca until Tuesday of last week. We have been going full on getting
caught up with things while I was away.
Thanks for your inquiry about Frame Sliders below. The ones we offer for the
RS, Item 20, are made from .625" thick Billet Aluminim plate and they also
utilze a 12mm 160,000 tensile strength stud. It then gets bolted to one of
the strongest points on your bike the frame and the hole in the engine. I
agree with Mickey on sliders that bolt into the a threaded hole in the
aluminun engine case (Japanese bikes for example) you can encounter problem
if the bolts bend over but this is not the case with the Triumph RS or ST.
Also, you can see the our Customer Testamonial Section where a Speed Triple
went down on the race track and the bike did not sustain any damage to the
bodywork and muffler. We will have more photos and testamonial that we will
post on our next website update of a Daytona that went down on the race
track and the muffler did not get a scratch. We hope that all of you are as
lucky :) Lastly, the RS frame sliders were designed so that you do not have
to cut the side panels.
Sincerely,
John King

PS: John come on down to San Diego and the installation will be done at no
cost! Just pay for the part and I will be happy to do it on Sat or Sunday
when we are off work. It takes us about 30 min. or so!
