Hey guys just installed these front axle sliders, not sure I like the look of them on but hoping if I ever go down they help somewhat. And please excuse the no front fender, currently waiting for my MIZ fender to arrive. Does anyone else here have or have used front axle sliders for our bikes?

I don't have any additional sliders or tank guards yet. Also was there a photo supposed to be in your post?

Yes, don’t know why it wasn’t working early but here are a few pictures of them.

I have sliders but not on the axle.

I don't use them, I am hoping the engine bars negate the need for axle sliders?

Ditto.

Over the years I thought about them, but have not actually had to use 'em even when an event would have tested the need for them.

Hmm I have the SW Motech engine guards installed already so I’m assuming with those there’s not really a chance for the fork axle to come in contact with the ground then..I wonder if I should remove them then if they serve no purpose with the engine guards installed.

Surely engine bars won’t necessarily stop the axle from contacting the ground if the bike’s down and sliding down the road?

Hmm I guess that’s true, extra protection doesn’t hurt I guess.

... not unless you are sliding under the bike protecting all its precious parts. This is not theory - it works.
