So I thinking swing arm fork and maybe handle bar sliders. What else is everyone else using? I like the darkhorsemoto stuff, but want some other ideas/opinions. I already have the pucks. Just want her protected when I do end up dropping her.

Same here....but will get some front and rear sliders when the funds allow it. Dark Horse Moto stuff looks nice and is at a good price it seems.

i just ordered a set of front and rear aluminium sliders for the shox and swing arm on my uly , other than that its still pretty much all stock go to american sport bike.com, they got some good deals on everything you can think of, other than that bar end sliders are the only thing else i can think of unless you can find a "stunt cage" for your engine section of your bike, thats all i got for ya but ill check a few other sites and see if i can come uo with anything else, latter

Dark Horse Moto sliders all the way!

Great quality and fantastic guy to work with!

Sliders front and rear and bar end sliders. The pucks will do the rest.

so what is left to hit the ground with all the sliders and pucks? Nothing? obviously the pegs but anything else?
I saw the crash cages, riding with those on would annoy me. and cause me to try things I normally would not try.

You may want to get a set of bar end sliders.

Yep, pucks, front and rear axle sliders (or in my case spool/sliders) and bar-end sliders
will save you a huge amount in repairs.

Being a machinist I also machined off the "dog-ears" that held the front pegs and
made my own 1" round billet solid mount pegs. I fall over on the left side occasionally
(the price of continuing to ride when you have a paralyzed leg) and in the past 4 tip overs
on my bike with full fairings I have only broken 3 left front turn signals.

That's not bad in my book!

Thanks. I hope I never have to test them out.
