I looked at the sliders at cycle gear (don't know the name) And didn'ty like them compared to Dark horse. I got the dark horse ones and was pleased with the fit and quality. took maybe a minute or two to put on and look stock. | ||

Hi Marcus, We have sliders designed specifically for your Buell, not adapted from another bike. They've been proven to work time and time again. We also have sliders to fit any budget. If you have any questions, just drop us a line. Keith DarkHorseMoto, LLC Protecting and Propelling Buell Motorcycles http://www.darkhorsemoto.com | ||

Niceguyeddy, I got stealth sliders from Skully, they're high quality and look awesome, I reccommend. Anyways, looking at Not_purple_s2's ground-up slider, has anyone gone down with the stealth sliders? If so, did the stealth sliders have enough meat to fully protect the swingarm? | ||

Dark Horse Moto is the ONLY way to go! Great price, great service........ DON'T go with the LSL CRAP! the ones i had used an expandable rubber sleeve to hold them in, Dark Horse is a solid rod through the axle, which is a MUST if you are going to use the spools on a stand. I actually just installed the Dark Horse sliders a couple weeks back after selling my LSL and the fit and finish is superb!!!! And using the spools on the stand are MUCH better than the universal stand pads. Nice and secure, no worry about sliding on the stand. -Robert www.xblights.com | ||

skully, the rear brake rearanger is a awesome modd.... does it work with the stock buell brake? (Message edited by ochoa0042 on November 16, 2008) | ||

Skully I had just one question, I bought a set of your swing arm sliders, and put them on an 05 xb9r. There is a gap on the rear side, its not like the match up perfectly, just wondering if there is something I could do to make it perfectly flush, or if you have heard of this before. Thanks Alex | ||

A big thank you to all. It seems that the darkhorse sliders win out...now, which set(s) to get!? | ||

Kieth,stupid question? What's the difference between the stealth series and the composite series? | ||

Yeah, Darkhorse Moto Rocks. Loving my Sliders. I suggest the ones with the lift grooves in them. Works really slick with a rear stand IMO. Go Skully!!!!!  | ||

I am running a "used" (as in crashed) set of Dark Horse Moto sliders, I just put new paint on them and you cant tell they have been across the pavement! | ||

Wow! Thanks guys! I'll address each question in turn: ...has anyone gone down with the stealth sliders? If so, did the stealth sliders have enough meat to fully protect the swingarm? Check out our home page animation. The damaged slider you see there is a Stealth. There was no damage to the swing arm. ...the rear brake rearanger is a awesome modd.... does it work with the stock buell brake? Unfortunately, no. The OEM Nissin caliper is too big to fit between the swing arm and the wheel. There is a gap on the rear side, its not like the match up perfectly, just wondering if there is something I could do to make it perfectly flush, or if you have heard of this before. This is the first time that I've heard of this. Can you shoot me a photo? What's the difference between the stealth series and the composite series? The Stealth Series are all aluminum and are designed to be low profile. The Composite Series are aluminum where strength is needed and Acetal Delrin where damage is likely to occur in a crash. The Delrin buttons are cheap and easily replaced. Thanks, Keith | ||

I'll throw in another endorsement for Dark Horse Moto sliders. Worth every penny! They saved my forks and swingarm when I went down. | ||

I love the Composite ones. Had them on my Uly, saved the bike from significant damage. Bike was still totaled, but until Dark Horse Moto comes out with a broken rear shock deflector I will have to manage    (Knick on fork was from before I got them!)   I touched all 4 in 1 wreck, do I get a prize?  | ||
| 2008xb12scg |
you should! | ||
| Niceguyeddy |
Yikes, they don't look like off-road scuffs either! Again, I appreciate all the info. Will be hooking up with some Dark Horse Moto product soon. Thanks |
