I just put a Powers cage on my F4i. I layed it down to check clearance and see what touches and it looks like everything will be ok. I bought some axle sliders before I bought the cage and was wondering if I should go ahead and throw them on or not? I haven't seen too many people with them on their bikes and didn't know if they'd offer any more protection. Any info would be appreciated.

I'll take them off your hands if you don't want them!

LOL. If I end up not using them I'll sell them. I got some other stuff I need to get rid of too.

if you got'em use'em.no sense let them sit there doing nothing

if you got them put them on your bike, what else are you going to use them for?

I noticed the front ones stop your rim from getting hit along the edge. Good for grabs and other tech **** you might think of. Mind you after any solid impact the front might shift, you might have to loosen your fromt end and retighten it to realign it. The rear slider under the exhaust hits sometimes.

the rear one's will help flip your bike up onto the bars/controls easier... that's if they dont bend or break off first.

I've tried them and i think they're an expensive waste of time.

If your worried about rearsets... cut a little bit off the end of your pegs.

I'ld rather have a slider with a chunk out of it, than my swingarm......

If ya had a good cage... your swingarm would never touch the ground.

In a perfect world..........yeah, maybe I'll live there one day. In the world I live in, theres curbs, boulders, and all kinds of other stuff that just wants to **** my bike up. Put 'em on.

You must be advertising for SI, cause we can't even see your swingarm....

kj

No advertising... just tryin to help some stunters out.

You get paid to advertise... I'm not gettin paid ****... and I'm sure as hell not sponsored by them (maybe someday, BIG HINT IAN). They're cages just dominate... plain and simple.

If it makes you feel better... here's a pic of my swingarm... this one's on my nasty stunter that goes down at least 10 times a day (the other pic is of my new streeter that hasn't even been ridden yet).



Besides... you miss the point. I've tried them already. When you have the long axle sliders on, they make the bike want to go up onto the tank and controls easier... tell me you'd rather have to replace levers, bars, ect. than get a lousey scratch on your pretty swingarm.

It's a ****** stunt bike for christ's sake. And besides... after a couple of drops the stupid things just bend till they break off... chewing up the end of your axle in the process.

Just ordered axel sliders from powers this week looks like I might have wasted my $.

You've been a lucky man, I tore a hole in my swingarm a couple years ago. I wasn't talking about AXLE sliders, I was talking about swingarm sliders, so, you're right.....I missed the point..

kj

Then what were you talkin about

Righteous 1

I was talkin about swingarm sliders......I edited^^^^

kj

Ahhhhhh.....

Swingarm sliders are a different story...

Would it help any to cut an inch or so off the slider or would it still want to flip over on the controls
