Oggy Nobbs

[onearmedbandit]

No, you haven't convinced me to put a flame to my bike. I'll leave that for someone else to try on their bike.

NO!!....this guy is using Acetal for his sliders. A far from ideal material that is likely to shatter or chip.
If you are going to bother either buying or manufacturing frame sliders use what the pro's use [i.e oggy et al ] specially modified Nylon 66 [Nylotrol]. Trust SPB the Toolmaker, this stuff is the ducks guts. Skateboard wheels are a grade of polyurethane; another less than ideal material.
Need help purchasing Nylotrol I can help [giz a yell]. I could manufacture some sliders and make a stellar job but I'm to f$%#in' busy.

Interesting....

I don't think it would make too much difference on my bike at the sort of speeds I typically do - they're fitted more to protect the frame corners from a direct impact and a short slide rather than any majors.

I might upgrade them to Nylon 66 when I get the chance.

A good point El Dopa. Frame sliders for most protect in minor incident accidents mainly garage drops, low speed slides etc.

A better compromise on a cost performance basis would be UHMWPE [Ultra High Molecular weight Polyethylene] rather than Delrin/Acetal.

[R6_kid:Me]

I think you made a typo below, surely they don't cost $578.25

for an extra $21.75 i picked up two sets of crash bungs, a tank and a full set of race fairings (along with a few other pits and pieces) for my bike.

Thats understandable.. you own a Yamaha.

That's big from someone that rides a Honda.

obviously not.. $600 pingers only gets me oggy nobs... not a full Yamaha; I could ride Dovers pushy and still have a better hp to kg ratio than you, never mind ride faster.

Was that a subliminal message... 'Big' ??

Hmm... I think I'm about 1.9 kg/hp at the moment, that's me and the bike combined for any smart arses out there. Could be worse, on the 4r it was 4.6 kg/hp.

That's enough for me for now

Would you two just shut up and get a room?

With a northener?? I'd rather die!

[jade]

Hondas dont crash well..

Nsr's do - as someone whose put one through a series of tests I can vouch for that..

[mynameis]

So which ones did you end up getting Boomer? Rang AMPS they can't for my bike, as well as Mt Eden, they stock the Acetal ones eh. Grr..

[Lou Girardin]

Try not dropping your bike.
Or buy them from the US
Or stop moaning.
