What company is "LSL" that I see listed on a few threads?

It's a German company.

LSL stuff:
Rear sets: Good stuff, a little fragile but nicely built
Footpegs: Good stuff
Mig Lights: Good stuff
Tube frame sliders: Good stuff
XB frame sliders: BAD stuff. Really bad implementation, I don't know what they were thinking. I won't sell them.

I don't understand how the Japanese bikes can have frame sliders around the whole bike and I can't have the same thing. Bad on them and the Germ Co.

We have a customer who was recently knocked off his bike by a car. He had the LSL sliders fitted and they did their job perfectly, resulting in just a replacement crash bobbin being required (and mirror)and no damage to the frame. There was no damage to any of the engine cases where the sliders bolt to.

Pretty much all of the crash protectors available will only work in certain situations where the bike slides. If you have an accident where the bike tumbles or hits a solid object even the best protectors in the world won't be worth having.
