Sliders

[phil y]

Well Dr pulley sliders came today. Fitted them and now bike reads just under 6000 revs for 70 mph so I'm happy with that. If weather is fine on Wednesday I'll have a ride to hawes and the ribble viaduct to see what she's really like

Whats the verdict then????

So far better mpg sits at 70 mph with only 5800 rpm going to try another run today

Thanks for the feed back, did you get these from the states or UK ?
Its on my list when I do the belt change in a month or so

you can get them from Germany at http://www.drpulley.info/shop/ there is no retailer or e-tailer in the UK that does them that I can find, they come from Taiwan and there use to be an eBay account that sold them from Taiwan but that seems to have stopped. Then you can get them from the US but the shipping/time kills compared to the EU.

EU is best option as you wont/might get stung for around £18 taxes and handling when they arrive
maybe the OP can advise the gm weight he bought £50 quid for 17gm 26 x 13 dr p sliders on ebay from germany
and the same from dr p http://www.drpulley.info/shop/product_i ... cts_id=507
they seem to have gone up in price

Got mine from Dr pulley as the lads above stated. Took a week to come. The factory fitted rollers were 19gr I replaced these with 21gr sliders. Still has the quickness off the line at start but cuts the revs down at motorway speeds.

nice to see that going stock weight or slightly higher does not loose the grunt, did you buy the dr p rollers or the dr p standard round type ?

Bought the slider ones has a curve at the base then an angled face. Just done a 200 mile ride earlier today it returned 74 mpg and the bike has only 2500 mile on so time for it to get better.
