WTB versys fork slider

[Hoghead]

Kawi in CM does not have them and no interest in finding me a set.
Has anyone seen them in Thailand before I go and get some machined> If I do end up machining them I will incorporate a groove so that I can use the same rear paddock stand on the front wheel

I have found a guy in Malaysia that has them for 1400 B
Anyone interested in a group buy to save a bit on freight

You should talk to Khun Pep, prez of the Technical Rider Stunt Team- they've got a couple Versys all done up for stunting and I'm pretty sure it had some big sliders on the front forks, but can't find a good pic.

Ah, found some better pics-

Give Khun Pep a call at 0841438891

Tell him Tony sent ya! :happy1:

No reply so it looks like I am going to get some machined

This is not a complicated part so machining is probably more cost effective than 50.00 USD + import, and I can incorporate a paddock stand support at the same time.
Naturally a simple non-stand version will be a lot cheaper, and I cannot see it being more than 1200 B

Anyone interested in a group buy to gain some economy of scale at the machine shop

Found some for 1650 B

Note that my idea of an integral paddock stand will not allow for front wheel removal, so the application is of limited value given the incremental cost increase

Any reason why you wouldn't want to use a normal front stand?

because I do not have one

Looks like the stunt bike pic has this type of slider so someone has already thought of it
