Re: Vortex Frame Sliders
Just got my Vortex frame sliders from kneedraggers.com. Finally some protection! Anyway, I ordered red pucks to match my red bodywork (on the 2003). Bad choice! The red doesn't match at all - not even close. I should have bought black ones! Time to order some black pucks instead. Oh well, live and learn I guess.

Blah. Thats nothin. I was putting frame sliders on my friend yzf600r and read the instructions and started to tighten the bolt and snap, bolt broke inside the engine mount. put the wrong instructions in with the frame sliders.

You mean the ones without the Stegen warning?

Re: Vortex Frame Sliders
Any chance of painting them? *Epoxy paint for appliances in a spray can should work...pretty tough, won't chip easily(Disclaimer, if you use the frame sliders for intended purpose, the paint won't stay) *Only problem is only comes in high gloss (black). *Might try something like Ace Rust Stop (Ace Hardware) the satin black is a pretty close match for the frame. *Light sanding, spray, dry...could save you the coin for new pucks...

Might be worth a shot - possibly with sanding the paint would stick, they're pretty slick otherwise.

Thanks, Fumb!

Re: Vortex Frame Sliders
So comes another lesson in NOT trying to match colours. What is on paper is not what you get & even if off a bit some will bitch. So go for contrasting colours like Black & White.

Go with the Krylon Fusion paint bwhip, like Skully suggested. Have had personal experience with it, and it is good shite!

Mostly because I've waited MONTHS to get this protection for my bike due to back orders, etc., and I'd rather spend a little extra for different colored pucks than go unprotected any longer.
