EcoSliders - An Engineered Alternative! We've designed these sliders for the discerning Buell XB rider who places a high value on performance without a high price:
(The scratches on my swing arm are a result of *not* using sliders!)
All hardware is made from 18-8 stainless steel. These high quality Acetal Delrin sliders can be installed in minutes with ordinary hand tools. The EcoSliders can be found at http://www.darkhorsemoto.com and many of BadWeB's fine sponsors. |

Man! I'd sure like one of the new Dark Horse Moto T-Shirts to go with my composite sliders. |

Oh, darn! I thought "eco" sliders were going to be made out of tofu and come with an Al Gore seal of approval! ~SM |

Cool! Cheapskates of the world unite! I have a track day coming up in Oct, and $35 for a rear swingarm protector feels like a pretty prudent investment. How necessary are the front sliders? I hate to tack any extra weight up there... |

I'm a cheapskate and these look great. I wish they would have been around before I bought my stealths. |

This may be a silly question, but are the EcoSliders machined to stay centered within the axles? |

When you coming up to see the in-laws again? I wanna ride! I wish I knew the answer Jeremy! Riding in East Tennessee ranks among the best in the States and there there's The Dragon! I'm definitely looking forward to it! This may be a silly question, but are the EcoSliders machined to stay centered within the axles? Not a silly question at all. Yes, they will stay centered on the axles. The EcoSliders have the same unique features that the Signature and Composite Series have that make them fit a Buell and only a Buell. We didn't adapt them from some other bike. |

Good timing for my busted XB9S! I'll be ordering both sets when the bike is almost done getting repaired. Thanks! |

Thank you Norm. I'm glad to hear that you are ok. Keith |
