T-Rex Frame Sliders

[Bert-Aus]

I purchased my T-Rex frame sliders in April '13.
Install was good, and happy with them.
Thankfully I havent put them to the test as yet (touch wood)

Anyhow the other week after my ride with Mitch
I noted that an endcap had fallen out.

I emailed them on to see how much for a replacement.
Within 24hrs they had responded with a request for shipping address
and sent me a replacement with no charge.

Great service there and from what I hear a good product as well. Where did you buy them from, their site or a different vender? Have been looking but shipping costs were always a deal breaker.

 

[Bert-Aus]

Ordered them direct from T-Rex.
Shipping will always be a killer to Aus, but it is slighty better than local supply price from the stores

Cheers ill have a look. Have been meaning to get some for awhile now.

Same exact thing happened to one of my T-Rex frame sliders, and I got the same exact excellent service in replacing it.

That's good service, I emailed them about a month or so ago about stands and after two attempts gave up as they haven't responded.

Previous to that though they had always responded quickly whilst I was purchasing my sliders.

They responded quick to me as well and I received mine very fast. I had asked about ordering some extra of the rings in red instead of black. However when they told me they wanted like 10$ per ring plus shipping, after the shock wore off I declined lol

if anyone has red they want to get rid of or change for black let me know.

T-Rex has provided excellent service (and excellent product) from their beginnings.
I had their original frame sliders (their 1st models, when they were sorting out bolt lengths), and they were fantastic to work with (I worked with Oscar, in particular, and he was great).
I had their spools (which no one else was producing for the FZ6R), and they worked out great.
I have their front stand, which has been great bang-for-the-buck. I'd have no problem recommending T-Rex to anyone...

Well it took 3 weeks (not bad for snail mail from eastern US to South Aus & FREE)
Got my end cap -only needed 1 but they sent 2

I can def reccomend their aftersales service:thumbup:

Here is some hard evidence for T-Rex working to save the engine block!
My bike high sided and flipped over a couple times (exactly how many I don't know for sure) before landing on top of me,
and due to T-Rex protection the engine block is unscathed
You can see in the below images how mashed the T-Rex sliders are, but the important stuff looks fine apart from dirt & grime
I have to wait and see what the rest of the bike is like...?

Wow, they held up brilliantly. Even melted I'm guessing from a slide at some point. I have Shoguns and can only hope if I need to test them that they hold up as well. I've heard from a few over the years here that had to use them that they held up fine. Just need to get the rider healed up now, eh?

holy sliders batman, I hate hearing about crashes, hope/glad you are ok. And good to know about the T-rex those tapered ones are the exact same ones I have. Put little Yamaha gel stickers (like on the tank but smaller) on the ends of them and they look like they came with the bike.

Bike landed ON you?? No broken bones or anything?

he has broken vertebrae in his back. Not sure what else, it's further down in this post I believe.

ouch, can't read it. Makes me not want to ride every time i read one or makes me think about a can am again. Most those problems are removed so the only one left really is actually getting hit by a car. I hope he gets better, and quickly.

So how are you feeling brother? I know it's a long road, but you can do it! I head back to work Monday after being out since end of January for surgery on both wrists. Got shots in both elbows today to boot. LOL! Good luck and keep us posted.

 

[Cerebus]

As someone who has had their bike dropped on both sides, and laid it down in a round-about on the the left side ...I cannot say enough how happy I am with the T-Rex sliders and how well they have protected my bike.

BORED OUTTA MY MIND!!!!
Physically, considering what has happened I am in very good shape,
I can walk around with the aid of crutches to support my weight from my left knee and hip.
I have a back brace to support my abdominal core when sitting upright (+30 degrees) and standing walking.
This brace has a plastic chest plate for when I shower and a soft felt plate with aluminium ribbing otherwise.
The brace gets a bit much by the end of each day, but just sitting without it in place when taking it off before lying down...
EWWWWHH my body feels a bit wobbly in the middle!

When I read about your wrists earlier this year I felt for you, that long a time without riding, has got to be difficult.
Now I am in that predicament and likely 6 months before I should consider getting a leg over a bike,
Time will tell I guess...

Good luck getting back into work

I had my first surgery in Jan and second near end of February. Can't ride here during those months anyways (especially this hellish winter we had). I am pretty much fully healed and no numbness anymore. Wounds are healed and still a little sore, but gets better with time. Doc said my hands were more muscled then anyone he's done surgery on so he had to cut through a lot of muscle to release the tendon. I can take a little soreness over no feeling and pain in my hands/arms. I'll ride more this season then the first 2 bar none. Cortisone shots in elbows were from severe tennis elbow. No tennis playing for this guy, but I chopped lots of wood
Work starts Monday again and I may get bike out tomorrow. Haven't had her out yet, but I think it's time if it doesn't rain tomorrow. Temps are finally hitting 60 Fahrenheit here. Still a little chilly for 40 mile roundtrip to work (30's-40's in the am), but it's only a matter of a few weeks at most. Can get bike out locally until then to get a feel. Got to take it easy though, roads look like someone blew up landmines everywhere. Rough winter! You situation isn't voluntary like mine and your riding season is year round, I believe. You'll get there! Never know you may get there sooner than you think. If your bike isn't totaled maybe when you start getting closer you can start working on it. If totaled maybe you can get your new bike and get it set up and ready. Has to be something positive to find in this right? Best of luck Bert!:thumbup:
