I'm new :) so I've got to atleast brag on my axle sliders you guys inspired. Please feel free to give me some feedback.

Looks decent. I like the choice of color for the wheels.
They look good,but,they can only be used as sliders,no grooves means no rear stand capability,like a spool-slider.Very well done though on a DIY,just something to think about.;)
Looks great,
I like the concept.
Do you have any buds with a lathe or are you handy with a drill press/drill. A set of grooves cut in those wheels would add the ability to use a rear stand.
For some reason I'm thinking Bright Orange wheels/sliders.
Do skateboard wheels have metal sleeves in them or are they all plastic?
I have to work today, I'll pull them apart on wednesday and take a few more pics. Plus describe a little better how these went together. They are pretty strong they way I did it. I only have about $20 total in them for both sets together.
I wasn't looking for bike stand spools, kinda of useless to me if the spools are in the axle.
Definitely would be useless for tire changes (the 08 1125 didn't have swing arm spools). Still would work for general maintenance/storage.
Looks pretty good! Has anyone actually had the misfortune to test out how skateboard wheels work as sliders? I'd be worried about them chunking as soon as they hit the ground.. (I've exploded a wheel right off my skateboard doing a powerslide on rough cement)
what a waste for a perfectly good skateboard wheel!
use them for they were made for - speeeeeeedddddd ;)
