Author Message   J0hn0tt0 Posted on Monday, March 09, 2009 - 04:35 pm:        Hey, guys. I was on a certain dealer's website when I saw a pretty nice XB12STT. So, for the hell of it, I was perusing through the pics when I realized that there are some strange pillar-like things sticking out of the side of the bike. I figured that they're frame sliders, but they're not symmetrical, being in different places on each side of the bike. What do you think?   Nillaice Posted on Monday, March 09, 2009 - 04:40 pm:        exactly, crash bobbins. i would and will just stick with the frame pucks. dealer sold, tried and tested, and proven to HELP. nothing is gonna totally save yer bike if the veritable poo hits the fan.   Sleez Posted on Monday, March 09, 2009 - 04:40 pm:        frame sliders, the kind that may ruin your frame if you took a tumble.   Nillaice Posted on Monday, March 09, 2009 - 04:42 pm:        http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/71.html i'm sure somebody's got a pic of one that tore up the frame on a get-off   Sleez Posted on Monday, March 09, 2009 - 04:44 pm:        look like LSLs; http://www.spieglerusa.com/cfm/FrameSliders.cfm   Ourdee Posted on Monday, March 09, 2009 - 04:53 pm:        Ugly, Like a Jeep with an exoskeleton of a roll cage.   Swordsman Posted on Monday, March 09, 2009 - 04:57 pm:        Kinda' redundant with the frame pucks, no? Seems like something to catch and break. ~SM   Old_man Posted on Monday, March 09, 2009 - 05:27 pm:        frame sliders, the kind that may ruin your frame if you took a tumble. My opinion too.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Monday, March 09, 2009 - 06:43 pm:        "What are these?" A bad idea.   J0hn0tt0 Posted on Monday, March 09, 2009 - 06:49 pm:        Ok, I thought they were frame sliders. Likewise, I've never thought they were a good idea. Heard too many stories of torqued frames from those things. I had just never saw them on a Buell, so the idea was foreign to me, I guess.
