[QUOTE="FB1, post: 952360, member: 20173"] The Motovation sliders for the FJR are actually [URL="https://www.motovationusa.com/mvstore/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=180"]nylon[/URL] with aluminum alloy inserts. The OES sliders are machined from Delrin, with aluminum alloy inserts. Delrin is much faster and easier (cheaper) to machine than nylon which is one reason why OES can sell their sliders for less. Both are good engineering grade plastics but nylon has certain properties that make it the better choice for a slider. Nylon has higher abrasion and impact resistance, so it will gradually grind down as it slides down the road. From what I read when I researched this 2 yrs ago when I bought my sliders, Delrin is more likely to come apart in chunks if your bike goes down sliding. If it chunks off, it is not going to offer a lot of protection for the side of your bike. Both will probably be fine if they fall down in your driveway. [/QUOTE]
