Bar End Sliders

[GroovyBunny86_imp]

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.

agreed. i'm starting to look into handle bar sliders that incorporate lever guards like this one-
