I just got the TST Industries Protection Pack...Small??

I just thought of something...I've got Blue Delrin to make new bits out of.

OH SNAP.....

I just thought about something.

I've got Blue (X-ray Detectable) Delrin that we make parts out of for Nestle, Stouffers, and Hershey...

Gonna take these to work and task my lads to make me some!!

Too bad that shite is expensive as gold though....wouldn't be economically viable to make them for sale.

Ok...I installed the front fork, swing arm, and bar end in less than 30 minutes. Took me longer to look for my vise-grips and a rag than the install. (Bad Ass Drew holds the bar ends with his hands...I needed something more to keep it from spinning).

Front fork sliders look dope. Swing arm sliders still look small but used the paddock lift and up she came - no wobble. Bar ends look..ok. The anodized ring doesn't sit flush (doesn't in the video either) and even when tight on the internal tightening nut they spin fairly easy but I whacked them with my trusty rubber mallet a few times...Nope...not budging - tight but they spin. Like an idiot I didn't see if the stock ones were that loose or tight. I did notice the stock ones have a key on the backside of them while the WOMOTEC ones are smooth.

Too late and wet to do the Frame sliders.....you have to take off half the side plastic (on both sides). Figure taking my time it's a couple of hours. So it's going to have to wait.

My Yoshi R3 slip on comes in tomorrow so that's going to take precedence

It's now dark-thirty...I took pics but the flash on my cell is horrible

Great write-up! To put things as simple as possible, yes these sliders are smaller because they can be. We have (unfortunately) crash tested these components various times on our race R1 and the race bike we sponsor for Team Westby Racing in the MotoAmerica race series. We have seen nothing but great results and will continue to bring those exact parts to the market for us everyday Joe's to use.

Yes, the video and blog article were created around the products for our R1 but we use the same technology and production standards in all of our crash protection products. We are not only the exclusive distributor for Womet-Tech in the US but we are also a partner company with them. We designed a lot of these R3 products directly in house and had Womet-Tech facilities in Poland manufacture them.

Womet-Tech as a single company has a catalog that contains crash protection parts for 100+ motorcycles. With the knowledge gained from countless crashes, drops, revisions, and even totaled bikes, they have been able to produce a product that is proven in every aspect of motorcycle riding. We very recently even started carrying their "race frame sliders" which have a break away feature in case the bike gets snagged on anything while it's sliding. This will hopefully give us even stronger data on how many "race bikes" actually flip during a crash or get caught on some immovable object.

I hope this helps explain certain points you mentioned in this thread and hopefully you never have to test out any of these components. However, if you do, I'm sure our products will help minimize any damage your bike may encounter.

Ride safe out there!
