Lightning Brand sliders
- Thread starter dawg
- Start date
Dealer? Who buys anything through the stealership? Even the genuine Yamaha part I've bought have been off eBay or other lower priced online retailers. :shakehead: :disapprove: :spank:
I guess if you got the money to burn...
Exactly what I was thinking
Really? Lets actually try and help with peoples questions instead of chastising where they choose parts from.
OP, No I have not heard of this brand. Shogun or Intuitive are well known reputable brands for frame sliders.
A google search of that brand doesnt come back with any real negatives about them and many have indeed used them. I have no first hand knowledge of them. But I dont think you would be doing anything wrong buy getting them.

Heya there. I have Lighting Performance Brand Sliders on my bike.
I personally think that they look good and they work.
I had the unfortunate experience of testing them. The ground down but not too much, so they were abrassive resistant ENOUGH, but obviously had to replace the one that was used. I have some scuffs on my cowling and very minor scrape on my fairing. I had a bent shifter and broken foot peg and scractched crankcase cover (although FRAME sliders really dont protect those unfortunately.) But they protected They mount pretty easily also. I felt confident enough to get my raplacement in another set of Lightning also.
My ONLY gripe about these are that they ONLY come in a set. So you have to get two, you cant just buy the replacement one. So I guess you will have a spare that HOPEFULLY never have to use.

I have the box in my car and cant get to it right now as I am at work. It is a canadian address though. I think it is Lightning Cycle, Your source for all things motorcycle
I have gotten them from two seperate dealerships
1. 1st purchase of the bike to be installed before delivery
2. A different dealer/service shop after my mishap.
Both times the whole kit was $127.95.
*last I looked I didnt see the FZ6R model on there. I can see if I can get a model # from my box and try to remember to post it later.

wow thanks for all the info!
I am a newb and ordered the Yamaha sliders when I purchased the bike and then realized after there were other options that didn’t require cutting. I had already paid for the sliders and asked the dealer if they can order aftermarket ones that didn’t require cutting. That’s when they mentioned this brand which has been on back order. So now I have asked them to give me credit instead and I will grab my own sliders.
I know there are a lot of threads on sliders but I’m still finding it difficult to determine which are the best brand. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Kevin

My comment was meant to be cheeky but in good fun. I thought the various smilies would have made that clear, but apparently that wasn't how it was perceived. I apologize to the OP, as I meant no offense. I hope whatever sliders you end up with work well because they are never used.
Are you sure you can't replace just the pucks? If not, that sounds like a terrible brand of sliders to me. Or do you mean that your mishap was bad enough that it ruined more than just the puck?

I got some T-rex sliders.
instructions aren't that great and i had to use an existing engine bolt but i managed to get them on.
I read on here that a drop of lock tite on the bolt to hold the puck on to the mount would keep it nice and snug so i did that as well. So far so good.

Unfortunately, yeah it was bad enough that it actually bent the base that the puck was on. The slider ended up being at an off angle. You can remove the pucks via a socket on about a 4" extender bar.
