Just got this thing put on. It's so nice and shiny, definitely better than that ugly nut, buuuuut i think i may hit it with some 1000 grit and paint it black....what do you think?

I think you should post a picture showing the other side too.

What material is it made from? Aluminium? If so, you could consider having it black anodised....

Anodize it black. Personally I like the open look of the stock wheel and I have zero sliders on my bike.

The money I saved in sliders on my bike I spent on better insurance and covered all the accessories. If she goes down I won't want to fix it, just replace it.

Ask and you shall receive ungeheuer.

I think the left side blends nicely but I may have the right right cap anodized. Anyone/company I should consider for anodizing?

I think that the silver color adds a nice accent to the right side!

looks good!

I had a garage tip over and my front axle sliders and frame sliders saved my bike from major damage, they are definitely are worth the install. I use a rear stand all the time so no rear slider for me.

Looks very neat

Rear stand rules it out for me too though.

That's why I use one of these babies...

Works wonders for cleaning wheels,chain & sprocket.

I have been meaning to get one of those rollers for the front wheel. My garage tip over did not hit the front axle. Although it did land on a foam mat so maybe it did and I just can't tell.

For $35 bux it definitely works for me. The pit bulls are nice but they aren't $35. Haha

It's cute and would work well as a set of 'rollers' for some MTB training, but it ain't no motorcycle stand.

Paint the sprocket carrier and leave the Rizoma bits silver.

That's a good idea. Should I just rattle can it? I guess I could have it powder coated black when they ceramic coat my headers.

Powder coat will last longer than rattle can.
