in the evenings when i am feeling like making things on my lathe i spin up motorcycle parts. i have materials in delrin and uhmw and i have colors blue, black, and yelow, even hot pink. who wants hot pink? : ) all based on 6061 aircraft aluminum and sourced from local hard working people in my city. they are the best.

these are fully sleeved to the bolt head so no worries about the bolt pulling through.

slider portion is 1.75 or 1.875 delrin or uhmw. good stuff. they taste great. with all hardware and bolts ready to go on.

i will also have a line of axle sliders for the front and also engine case sliders soon.

when i am feeling a bit blue.....




also spool sliders for the swingarms:




i make them at night after work.

im a boring guy.

just to share; )

if im not making things i am working my desk job mon-friday and then one day of the weekend i like to spend it freediving and spearfishing with my lovely wife in the monterey bay and carmel bay. while most people go to pebble beach to watch the golf or to hang out with the rich folks smoking fat cigars and drinking brandy i go there to use their beach access and pay my 8.50 USD to park and hunt fish.

its not "decent" as i do drive my pile of trash jeep into the land of wealth but i enjoy it. last year i once gave a ride to a older couple who needed to get to the clubhouse when i got out of the water. i didnt smell the best but i gave them a ride and they apprecited it. that was kind of funny as all the other folks passed them up i stopped and offered a ride and they accepted. i just said to them "dont mind the fishy smell as the ride will be short".

more good stuff:

fork sliders:







exhaust sliders:

and in case you are scared to touch those engine cases down on the tarmac:



i only have yellow.
