Sato Racing still doesn't have the frame sliders in stock so I did some research and found out that they are from japan:

I ordered some stuff from webike together with it and got free shipping.
Samurider can also order them for 14500 JPY (~$118) + shipping.
They came assembled and just need to mount to the frame using the frame existing bolts (no bolts supplied).
I will take some pictures tonight and add to this post.
Since the weather here is not favoring any rides (10" of snow on Tuesday, currently 18F and icy roads everywhere) I won't be able to test them as pegs anytime soon. Forecast for the next 10 days is not showing anything above 36F (mostly under 30F), plus a couple of days of snow forecast for next week as well. 2015 is most definitely over for riding here...
For those with nicer weather, enjoy and ride safe!!
I have the Moriwaki sliders and the ones you have look virtually identical.
here is some feedback for you.
I was on a long hot group ride last summer - we stopped after about 3 hours of continuous travel on the back roads of Nova Scotia at a local Tim Hortons coffee shop. It was about 36 degrees Celcius (very hot) The parking lot and coffee shop were built on a hill and i parked beside another heavier bike, and as I was getting off the bike the side peg sunk a tad into the hot pavement. this combined with being on a slight grade over she went and on top of me she landed.
It happened fast, i had a buddy standing right there (fortunately) who grabbed the bike and prevented her from crushing my foot. I quickly scam,pered from underneath and the 2 of us righted the bike.
Its was a rather shocking experience TBH esp because it happened so fast.
Bottom line- the sliders prevented any damage from occurring. not a scratch anywhere on the bike-including the slider.
the only damage was to my confidence - but I chock that up as a valuable learning experience in the end.
Hope this helps- enjoy the sliders, they will look awesome once installed.
cheers!
