Title: Ribelle - Home made Axle and frame sliders. *Sigh*
Post by: EVriderDK on February 13, 2022, 05:16:18 AM

I think that I am going to make some custom axle and frame sliders as I can't find a good solution.

The temporary axle slider prototypes are only 40mm and as you can see it is not enough to save the fairings.
So I am thinking to make 60mm. axle sliders which would make a 100 mm. frame slider long enough to protect the fairings.
It has to protect against a drop, but not necessarily against a crash.

Any ideas?

Energica of New England is about to launch these soon if you want to hold on for pre-made.

@nevetsyad - When's soon? Have a new Ribelle coming in the first weeks of May and would LOVE some protection for it from me :D

Frame sliders are great overkill and in a real crash they do more harm than good.

Oooh.  My EsseEsse9 tipped over yesterday and I discovered my foot brake lever peg was broken off.  Sometimes I park on a hill and sometimes my motorcycle gets bumped, and I need this.

When my Zero's foot peg broke off when I dropped my bike at a stop, I discovered that the passenger peg was a direct replacement for the rider's foot peg.  :)

Thanks for this tip! I called and they let me know that they now carry front and rear axle sliders and frame sliders. I’m thinking of sending back the front axle sliders I got for a Diavel that I was told might fit with some modification and ordering these instead.
