[ST] SkyKing Frame Sliders work

[Stephen McSpadden <stephen.mcspadden@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It is with no small amount of regret that I have to say that SkyKing frame 
sliders work. Very well. To cut a long story short, I tested the left hand 
side one on my 2002 Sprint ST last Friday and, apart from a bent (now 
straightened) gear lever, a scuff on the engine casing that protrudes 
through the fairing on that side and a losing half a footpeg, there was no 
other damage on that side.

That didn't stop the headlights, centre plastic and right hand side upper 
fairing getting damaged when they hit an immovable object.

The slider is well bent out of shape and I can supply pictures of it if 
anyone would like to see what happens to one of these in such a 
tarmac-slider interface.

The only thing I hurt in the crash was my pride (stupid error of 
judgement). The next thing to be injured will be my credit card. Having 
said all that, once I'd borrowed some tools from a nearby garage, loosened 
all the fairings and popped one or two bits back into line, taped up the 
broken light, I was able to continue on my way and catch up with my friends 
in Braemar for the "Gathering" up there on Friday evening. Without the 
slider, that would not have been possible.

Anyone in the UK got some spare British Racing Green plastics lying around 
that they'd be willing to sell ....?

Cheers,

Stephen (Spud) McS.
