Bar End Sliders - GroovyBunny86_imp - 04-28-2020
Sup everybody,
anybody have any experience or know anyone with a CB that has installed handlebar sliders or "bar end sliders" ? Seems like a cheap way to protect clutch if I were to
dump (knock on wood). Would these even be necessary if i just had the SW Motech engine guard installed? I have bar end type mirrors (i think), not sure how these
would work alongside these type mirrors.
Figured I'd ask, not a lot of talk on here about them and not tons of options on revzilla but there are a few sellers on ebay that offer sliders that are compatible.

I may well be shown to be wrong before long, but I don't recall anyone on this forum talking about handlebar sliders. My 0.02 is that I don't think frame sliders or engine guards would necessarily protect handlebars.

I don't recall anyone using them either. I did some searching around last night and could only find threads on frame and exhaust sliders.

ahhhh foldable clutch levers, forgot about those. yep no threads i could find Cormanus. Found these on ebay, looking at them again i don't think you could use them with bar end mirrors

I would think bar end sliders would be more for full fairing protection than anything else.
