It works! :banana Saved my newly revalved/resprung forks after my T-14 lowside. Not a bad investment!

Thanx Harry(aka HighSpeed) for making this product!

Sorry you went down, but glad the sliders worked!

Do you have the SME spool sliders / axle sliders on the back end, too?

When I was installing these on my GSXR, I was impressed by the quality of materials & workmanship. Then I remembered Harry makes sportbike camera mounts, and a bunch of stuff for catalogs/supplers, and it all clicked ;)

And the nice thing is it's all modular, so you can just replace the scraped part & you're good as new!

Oh yeah - to anyone wondering "why bother", think of what the fork leg would look like if it had been scraping along the pavement instead of the protector. Also, the end of the fork is more likely to catch the pavement & turn the bike over, instead of sliding.

Plus, have you priced a modern inverted fork lately?
