Front axle sliders???
Re: Front axle sliders???
So did you just cut the rod, the same length of the axle?? and is it in there firm, or does it woble, i was looking today at doin somethin like that/.
Re: Front axle sliders???
Cutting rod and bolting through the spindle with some crash bobbins work fine, almost every supermoto is done this way, I done my 2 supermotos this way and if you use biggest rod you can fit through and do it up tight it should be fine. However you gotta have a hollow spindle, if you got that then no probs its easy and cheap to do, you can even use skateboard wheels if you want really cheap... Just a shame the F4i has a solid spindle cos I want to do the same but don't really fancy drilling the spindle!
Re: Front axle sliders???
I dunno, ben a while since I shopped for those, but the Harris ones I bought for the Aprilia were like $160.oo for the pair. And most parts for the Mille are about 2x the normal in-line four parts cost...like I said though, with e-bay, and salvage yards, I dunno, you prolly could find them cheaper....
I want some too.
Re: Front axle sliders???
I get them from Ebay for like $30 all the time, they come from someone in the UK and their like $35 shipped for 4 with 2 threaded rods, nuts and washers....

Yea, those do look better than those euro-trash, race rep., bobbin deals.
They are not long enough in my opinion. And with a name like "bobbin", I'd feel like they should be on a sewing machine, or I should be wearing a bonnett instead of a helmet, and racing leathers instead of jeans!!

I was just eyeing that up out in the garage on the ZX-6
All thread through the axel into some spare Vortex Sliders I had sitting around from the F4. Should work fine. Plus the Vortex slider pucks are replacable.
