Moriwaki Skid Pads

[Retsel_imp]

Just wondering if anyone has actually dropped their CB with the Skid Pads installed? If so, what were the results? I am thinking of getting them but not sure they will give enough coverage?

I have them and had the same concern. Not gonna tip my bike over to find out though

what about these? http://www.satoracing.com/framesliders_hondaCB1100.htm They pretty much the same to me, but look to stick out a lot more.

I can't speak to the Moriwaki frame sliders, but similar sliders did a remarkable job saving my engine cases in a 50mph low side. The mirror, lever, bar end and brake lever were the only other parts needing replacement. The exhaust was slightly scratched but not replaced.

If you prefer the lower profile look of sliders over crash bars, you can still expect good performance.

That was the feedback I was looking for. Thanks!

Popgun, looks like those could double as highway legs!

Yeah I was thinking that too! The Moriwakis don't stick out enough for that. If hdvalente got the Sato sliders, maybe he will chime in and let us know.

I didn't know about Sato (or maybe they weren't out yet) when I got the Moriwaki sliders or I might have gotten Sato instead. A lot of stuff wasn't avail. when the '13s first came out.

Sato Racing will send me an email once they are available (they informed me mid December).
I will post pictures and dimensions once I get them.

I have an update on the frame sliders purchase.

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

http://www.babyface.co.jp/frameslider15CB1100.htm

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!
