as i explained here I laid the bike down today. http://www.600cc.org/forum/f87/layed-bike-down-25039/
I had t-rex 3 mount no cut frame sliders on my bike and they completely failed at doing their job. the slider on the side that hit the ground broke off. I was only going about 35 mph. I wasn't racing
the actual slider pulled out from the bolt that holds it to the mount. after inspecting the slider i don't see how it ever could have worked as there simply isnt enough material there for the bolt to hold the slider on when it hits the ground.
I am extremely pissed that they failed and i now have to figure out if i can make the 600 mile ride home or have someone from home come down and pick me and the bike up.
had the slider done its job the bike would still be banged up but my shifter wouldn't be broken and my foot peg wouldn't have broken off.
If you want them just for looks then get them i guess. if you want something that actually works don't waste your money on them.
the mount that the slider attaches to is fine aside from the bolt that holds the slider on being bent.
pics of the failed slider are in the other thread.
