Well...What can I say? Our design is slightly different than what you have and unfortunately for us you're not the only one with those. ;) May I suggest one our pulley covers or axle sliders to make your bike "unique" again? :p

50, I appreciate the parts you build. Love my swingarm sliders... That said, I'd really like to see a right side slider like this...

http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/1924_20120307003225_L.jpg

my reason for not having bought the GSG sliders thus far isn't cost, it's that the right side just doesn't seem strong enough to me. Just my .02.

Thank you for offering Buellers good products at good prices.

Thanks xtreme!

Firefighter: Thanks for the input. You've made some good points but let me attempt to explain our design.

I agree. In the pictured design of the timing cover slider, the small bolts would likely shear off during an impact. In our design, the screws don't do much of the work. Our part will be made from Delrin (as opposed to aluminum) to absorb the impact and utilizes the original structure and geometry of the case to support it and keep it in place.

The problem in utilizing the 3 screws you mentioned is that they are relatively in line with one another. You get a significant amount of strength from working in triangles so a bracket in that area would not be too useful.

I hope this makes sense. If not, I'll try harder :p

Thanks again!

Keep the orders coming guys (& gals)!

Loki
03-08-2012, 10:21 AM
SO 100 for both or for each?
Also this to me seems like it could cause more damage then protection depending on the crash. Low speeds this does look like it would be amazing to have, but what about high speed crashes? To me it seems like a high speed lay over would break the slider off (possibly your bolts and/or case) then go to the headers or frame instead of going straight for the headers or frame. Could this be the case?

50dro
03-08-2012, 10:43 AM
$100 is for both sides.

Every situation is different and high speed impacts are difficult to predict. In no way are these intended to be a forcefield for your bike but they will likely help. The part that would make contact with the ground will be made of Delrin to absorb as much impact as possible while wearing away slightly and reducing the case's chances of being damaged. For these reasons, I don't anticipate that it would cause more damage than if it weren't there.

Loki

My longest lead time is 6 weeks right now but that tends to slip a bit from time to time so I don't want to make any promises. 6 weeks puts us at the end of April though...

So now that I have released this and am ready to get the parts going, tell me what you think of the final selling price of $135 (before discount). It seems competitive to me. Let me know what you think.

03-13-2012, 06:57 PM
I guess I dont know your margins on this nor do I expect to. It seems to me like you are trying to make some money which is fine. I would expect you are trying to make at least 100% on them. If you are below that then hats off to you. If you are just making a huge margin on them then I would suggest lowering it in an attempt to sell more numbers. Just based on the fact of how long it took to get 15 people to bite at a price of $105.

Nice little optimization problem here.

50dro
03-13-2012, 08:09 PM
Thanks Kona! Definitely not making a huge margin but not giving them away either. ;) I thought 6 days was pretty decent to reach 15 (actually 16) orders so my thoughts are that the market will definitely bear more than the discounted price. Just looking for a fair market value of it. If the discounted price is all that it will bear then it honestly wouldn't be worth it for me to take on the financial risk, burden, liability, etc. Thanks for your thoughts! [up]

...and considering there is only competitor sliders for the 03 models costs over $200, I think the $135 is fair. It doesn't neccessarily matter what a competitor has, unless it has the same application, which the T-Rex ones don't.

Timeless
03-14-2012, 08:17 AM
To me, the $135 price is fair. That is, assuming the machining and anodize are of high quality (which I have no doubt they both are based off of your other items).

It will probably be wise to offer the delrin components as separate items in the future so one can replace these items in the event of a spill.

I don't currently have the proper hardware to mount it up but you get the idea.

I also don't own a 2008+ XB so this is the best I can do with a pic for now. This shows the approximate location of the slider (width-wise on the bike). Don't worry, I had a Buell buddy of mine take some good measurements for me so I know it's good. ;)

Is it possible to request black hardware?

Unfortunately I haven't seen able to source black hardware that was both strong enough for the application and that had ample corrosion resistance. Standard black oxide bolts that would be strong enough would rust really quickly and that's the last thing I want to happen. Function takes slight priority over looks in this scenario.

I'll keep looking around for it but short of powder-coating the hardware (which I don't have the budget for) I'm doubtful that I will have much luck. It appears that my competition has the same problem as they all use non-black hardware.

The other option would be paint but I haven't had much luck doing that as they usually chip or scratch the bolt head where they are tightened (which looks bad and makes them prone to corrosion).

If any of you have any sources for black alloy steel hardware (grade 8 or better) with good corrosion resistance, please feel free to pass them along via a PM.

Thanks!

I want to communicate a few changes on these parts (for the better) from the original description. They are:

- The sliders will NOT be machined from Delrin brand resin but another high performance resin that is actually more resilient than Delrin. Still black though.

- Hardware will NOT be stainless steel. As I mentioned previously, stainless hardware is not strong enough for this application. I have been able to source some custom made black (YES BLACK :D ) hardware that is comparable to the strength and corrosion resistance of the hardware on your bike's case now.

I've been able to make these changes while keeping my price the same so I'm happy about that! [up]


*******************
On another note...There are a few people that have expressed interest in these parts but have NOT placed their orders on our site. I can not honor the discount price for you if you don't place your order while the discount is being offered. To do so would be unfair to the others that placed their orders earlier so please place your orders ASAP to get the current discount price of $120 (after forum discount).

May 1, 2012 is looking like the timing as of now. Of course it's often difficult to control the delivery times from my vendors but I will keep on them and get these out as quickly as I possibly can. Those of you that have ordered from 5-0dro in the past know how we pride ourselves with quick turnaround shipping so you know we'll be working hard to get these out to you and of course will be communicating along the way.

If you have any questions on any of this, please ask. We're extremely excited to start offering these and can't wait to see them on your bikes! [cool]

Hey 50 have you thought about this aspect: say you lay your bike over at 5mph with your engine sliders installed not a big deal even if there was a pot hole and one got caught on the edge of that pot hole but take that speed up to about 40. One of those catches an edge and say goodbye to your crankcase.

Just a thought!!

Valid thought. Thank you for your input. Yes, we definitely put a significant amount of thought to that. Our design mitigates that risk by using high performance resin sliders which are compliant. Their compliancy is intended to absorb impact while they "shave" or wear down on the pavement or whatever they go down on (also absorbing energy). If the sliders were aluminum or harder this risk would be much greater. That's also why we recently opted for stronger hardware. This was designed to keep the base (and the engine case) in tact while the sliders to the work.

That being said, these case sliders can't be expected to be a "force-field" for your engine cases. As you mentioned, things get very unpredictable at higher speeds (road surface effects, flipping, etc) so the sliders cannot be expected to save your engine cases in every situation but we intend for them to give your engine cases a better chance at survival than if they were not there.

No need to apologize! ;) I think you're the 2nd one that has asked to date. At this point no. As a small operation, we like to take on one project at a time so we're giving the XB design a shot at the moment. If the XB Case Sliders do well and there's enough demand for them on the 1125's, we'll consider it (or any other part that makes sense to make at decent quantities). Unfortunately, we do much less business with the 1125's as compared to the XB's...Probably due to the shear production numbers from Buell, so it's difficult to drum up enough demand for it in order to deliver parts at a good price for the 1125. Hopefully, that will change...

Thanks man! It is but it wasn't the whole site, just the store portion (which of course is the main reason for its being).

Lost my product listings and pics, inventory, order records (don't worry, PayPal has me backed up there), customer reviews(this really sucks because this has been built up over time and isn't exactly easy to reproduce)

The good news is that the site will have a slightly improved look, will be optimized for smart phone use and will have the t-shirts there to order directly.

I was so excited that I forgot to take a pic! :( I assure you though, you're going to love the way these things came out!

Still awaiting the machined resin parts and the hardware but shipment (to you all) is still looking like next week! I'll post some pics when I get them (in a few days).

Understandably so, but the length of our sliders were designed to not stick out much past the components they are to protect even though some of the pics make them look like they do.

Do you have a link where they experienced this? It would be worth reading through for us all.
