Made Some basic DIY crash protection for my SR/F
« on: October 28, 2019, 01:35:44 PM »

Since aftermarket stuff is still very limited I created some crash protection myself using skate board wheels on the axles.

Some pictures :



Parts needed :
  • Skateboard wheels (check eBay)
  • threaded rod M8 in size (inox or at least galvanized)
  • some M8 washers and nuts
  • rubber hose that fits around the rod and inside the axle. I used 12mm outer, 8mm inner size

I also have this video but it's in my own language (Dutch). It also shows some sliders on the frame but not sure yet if that is a good idea since there is no weak point on these for impact other than the existing lugs on the frame...

Nice. Mind if I include the pictures on the unofficial manual?
