Replacement 'Moko' style Aluminum Sliders

A while back I made myself a set of direct replacement Moko style frame sliders for the FJR. Well this last week in front of several other well known forum members, I finally put them to the test at a gas station, where I stepped on a patch of oil and lost my footing, timber! :haha:

Anyway, I have been quietly persued to supply them for other's. The slider shown is typical of what they will look like and note that they are also 3/8" longer than the stock moko puck, as some have made the case that moko's seem too short for full fairing protection. I am pleased to report that my fairings survived without a single scratch. They are machined out of billet 6061 aluminum.

If you think that aluminum is not a suitable crash bobbin material, you won't hurt my feelings, but please don't turn this thread into a bash fest over delrin vs. aluminum.

Price per set is $50.00 shipped to the lower 48.

I am not offering Paypal for this deal. Please snail mail a check payable to Ian Laing to:

Re: Fitting my slider to the Motovation Slider.

It has been brought to my attention that the moko setup is a little different from the Motovation. If you wish to use my slider with the Motovation it will require a 10mm longer bolt than what was supplied from Motovation. I do not intend in supplying this bolt as its a $2.00 item available at any hardware store.

Damn. Sorry to hear of your tip-over. So the slider saved the paint, then? Cool! How did the bracket fair?

Bracket is fine.

Is the pair in the pic polished or right out of the mill?

They have been lightly polished with some fine scotchbrite. It would be easy to polish them yourself, provided you have some way to get them spinning. Remember, quality polishing is a time consuming process. The finished machined surface right out of the lathe will be of high quality. We use a high polished carbide insert from Mitsubishi for turning aluminum.

Nice work!

Some serious bling there. Nicely done! Hmmm, I might have to get the polished version just to match up with my polished Throttlemeisters. What's the 'window of opportunity' for ordering?

Right now they are in the schedule for production and will be ready early in January. There will be no window of opportunity on them, I will hopefully be stocking them from here on out.

Let us know when these are available. Thanks.

The replacement sliders will be available within a few days. The offer has changed a little, so stay tuned.

Skyway,

What's the status on your sliders?

REALLY looking forward to these, or did

you change your mind on producing them?

Just curious...

Sorry for the delay. They are in production and I am quite sure at some point next week thay will be ready for shipping.

Skyway, will you let us know if they fit the 06 models when they come out?

I would really like to get yours if they fit the 06 bikes.

Skyway,

Thanks for the quick reply...

I still have to get the standard Moko's first anyway,

but I WAS curious.

Thanks for the info...

Jim

Here's what they look like on my bike.

Skyway - when ready I wouldn't mind these sliders and your CC-100 mount if you have any remaining. Thanks!

MadMike needs some of these. One of his Moko's is scuffed up on his otherwise pretty bike. :haha:

Sliders are ready!

Will post some pictures of the new batch when I get a chance. Hopefully this evening.

Ready to ship whenever you are.
