DIY frame sliders

[Prof J]

I've an idea to make some DIY frame sliders out of Delrin, which is a hard base form of plastic, and very durable, or perhaps a form of hard thermoplastic, either with a Shore A scale of around 80. For the bolt attachment, perhaps a rating of 5, so it could have some response to bend under pressure. I'm thinking an 8 rating might be too rigid and snap.

I'd be easier to buy some, but I'm just wondering about doing it.

Prof, I'd be interested to see what you come up with design-wise. I've got the factory sliders, but given other's experience with them, I'd like to replace them. The Woodcraft sliders (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=748&sid=f4fe26f9787 ... t=10#p8452) seem to be the sturdiest, but I don't care for the look of them. I'm leaning toward the T-Rex sliders (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=748&sid=f4fe26f9787 ... t=10#p8475). The Top Block's (http://shop.top-block.com/en/h2sx/654-e ... 10-16.html) look very cool, but I wonder how sturdy such a long slider would be. I can't say I really like the looks of the Puig sliders (https://puig.tv/en/tuning-motos/frame-s ... bike=23019), but it's hard to tell from a single photo. There's also the R&G sliders (https://www.rg-racing.com/browsebike/Ka ... rettyPhoto) and the Evotech (https://evotech-performance.com/collect ... protection), which pretty much sums what I've looked at.

That's a handy list.

Supposed to pickup the bike in the morning, despite U-Haul's lack of local equip. Penske to the hopeful rescue.
