Author Message   Not_frn Posted on Sunday, June 06, 2004 - 08:46 am:        Does anybody know where I can find some frame sliders for a 2000 X1? Everything I see is for an XB or other bikes. Thanks, Skip   R1DynaSquid Posted on Thursday, June 10, 2004 - 12:08 am:        Trojan   Bluelightning Posted on Friday, July 16, 2004 - 09:16 am:        LSL makes them. I called the folks at Kneeddraggers.com as they sell other LSL products, and ordered mine from them. DO a search for LSL on the web and find a local supplier that can get them for you.   Al_lighton Posted on Friday, July 16, 2004 - 03:06 pm:        we carry the LSL sliders..I just looked, they're not on our website, I'll get that fixed right away. $184.95 for the set. They're stout.

If you have a forcewinder on, the aircleaner sicks out past the frame slider. Also the header sticks out just about even with the slider.   Bluelightning Posted on Monday, July 19, 2004 - 12:44 pm:        Al, Do you know if they make the spacers between the mount and the bobbin a little longer?

Me thinks I may invest in a some frame sliders as well as having my new soles put on by boots. LOL   Al_lighton Posted on Tuesday, July 20, 2004 - 11:06 am:        FYI, the "spacer" is an aluminum rod, approximately 1.5" diameter, 2" long, with a .410 diameter hole thru them. As John (bomber) said, it would be fairly trivial to make longer ones if necessary, you would need to by a longer bolt as well. From the surface of the frame tube, the sliders will protrude approximately 3.88". Al   Bluelightning Posted on Friday, July 30, 2004 - 09:25 am:        Yeah, I knew it wouldn't be too hard to make, I just don't have access to a lathe yet (gonna get one soon!!!) I just noticed by the looking straight down that it's close to even on the header (I have the blue ceramic coated X1W header) and my Forcewinder sticks WAY out past. Hopefully I'll never dump it anyways, but would be good to be prepared.
