Fitted Some DIY Axle Sliders / Protectors and The Front Fender Extender

[crotchrocket]

I got this idea from the supermoto guys. These are some skateboard wheels i've bought and held them in place with some M8 stud and nylon nuts. I think they look really good!!!!! Also fitted my fender extender today. Its not going to win an award for prettiness, but it looks like it will do the job and save the radiator. I also gave her a bath too

Be honest now Mr. crotch. You only made these up because you couldnt get orange ones ! Either that or some joker has been jamming satsumas in your spindles ! lol Seriously they look great , i can get 8mm all thread in work , and theres a skate shop near me ! job for next weekend

Nice solution. Matt black paint on them and they look fantastic.
I ordered a set of LSL, now I regret it. I have these wheels in my man cave.
Maybe I will use them as engine guards.

I was thinking along the same lines myself today!
Would be interesting to see if anyone has used them for frame sliders.
Do you know if you can get smaller diameter wheels. maybe roller skate wheels?

FYI, there is a fully adhesive one now on eBay, so you don't need to drill holes. About £5 more i think.
