Bolts showed up today thanks to our very own parts supplier Joe W, great service and pricing for anybody whom needs Honda parts.

So pricing for my US customers has gone up a bit due to shipping and exchange... 5th gen and 6th gen Kits will now be $155 US, engine bolt and nut will be $25, I will refund $20 for your old bolt and nut after it is returned to me, shipping is now $23, as I am now using UPS instead of USPS, the first kit delivered by UPS took only a 10 days instead of three weeks.

Canadian customers...5th gen and 6th gen kits is still $175 Can, engine bolt and nut will be $25, I will also refund $20 after your old ones are returned, shipping is $15 via Canada Post.

I have both 5th gen and 6th gen at this present time ready to ship, If you wish to order a set, email me at radar88ster at gmail.com with your full name and address as well as Ph.#, I will then send you a paypal invoice.

Install instructions are found here, KKen did a great job and several customers have added some great tips, http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=29741

When you send back your bolt and nut, pleas send it cheapest route via parcle post or USPS, marked with value of $10 for ease in customs.

Now for both past and future customers, for me to ship these all over North America is just kind of cool, I've just gotten a real giggle out of doing this for you guys and I'd like to start a scrap book of pictures for myself, so if you have time I'd like you to take a picture of your bike like below that shows where you are from and I promise this is just for myself and I won't publish anything without permission. Thanks guys and gals.

Darren (aka Radar)

I've installed two sets of these, one set on a 6th gen and one set on a 5th gen. Install is rather simple. I'll vouch for top notch quality on this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for frame sliders. You might look at a little under $200 being a lot, but that side fairing costs like 350+ or something like that, and thats just the start of damage from just a simple driveway drop! Get sliders!

I'll second a plug for these things. Mine was the 5th gen tinyminds did. And we did it at t-mac, so yea, its easy. Radar, I'll ship my bolt back to you when i get back to florida so you can use it. Do you want the guides to? I think they are in jeremy's trailer...i can send them with the bolt.

Thanks for the thumbsup guys, if you don't want to keep your centering plugs I will be happy to take them and send them on to the next guy. fing02.gif

This is correct, but keep in mind that I give you $20 back after you send me your old nut and bolt, and if you want to wait 3 weeks or more for delivery I can send it USPS for $17 instead of $23

Will you be selling them for the 4th gen? I have not seen any frame sliders anywhere made for my bike!

I talked to Darren (Radar) about this - and I believe he would be willing to make them for the 4th and 3rd gen - just needs to get them in front of him to size up and manufacture accordingly.

I could be wrong - but Darren would be willing to make them up - just needs the specs.....

Sorry guys, Dutchy and I already gave it a go, and after a lot of consideration, we both decided that my present design is just not suitable to the 3rd and 4th gen bike as there is not an engine bolt that goes through for proper support.
I could probably come up with something that is suitable but I can't do it from pictures and measurements, I need a bike in front of me so that I can make pieces on the lathe and experiment. So until that opportunity presents itself I won't be able make something.

Keep me posted, I'll be happy to fork over the cash for a set. I doubt I'll have my bike north of the border, but you'd be welcome to experiment on my bike if you're ever in Cleveland, OH.
