This frame slider kit spent a lot of time in R&D. The narrow engine on these fitments makes for a somewhat longer slider being needed to reach the bodywork. Woodcraft was concerned that a standard slider would have a tendency to bend and/or break - causing damage to the frame and engine.
With this in mind, Woodcraft made a support bracket that clamps securely to the frame to reinforce the slider. Again, a test rider tried them out (with a crash while racing) and they held up perfectly, helping to protect the tank and water pump. These are a little more expensive than Woodcraft's standard sliders, but well worth the investment when it comes to protecting your motorcycle.
This is a special set that sits behind the bodywork - offering valuable protection for the water pump and other vulnerable pieces, but which does not require cutting the bodywork. This kit utilizes the short high-density pucks for replacement pucks.
- Special set that sits behind the bodywork.
- Extensive R&D for this slider base kit.
- Provides valuable protection for the water pump and other vulnerable pieces.
- Utilizes the short high-density pucks for replacement pucks.
- Note: This kit requires the elimination and/or removal of the exhaust flapper valve motor; if you have a full aftermarket exhaust system, this will not apply to you.
Woodcraft frame sliders' patented design features a universal slider puck that fits nearly all slider models. What makes the Woodcraft design unique is the perpendicular attachment bolt for the puck. Because they do not have to hollow out the center of the puck, they can leave the sliding surface of the puck solid. This provides 48% more plastic to slide on, dramatically improving puck life. The side mount also eliminates the hassle of trying to dig out a puck replacement bolt through a distorted hole.
