Frame sliders on CB550 ? Any compatible ones?
« on: November 15, 2014, 11:56:58 AM »
Has anyone ever put frame sliders on a CB550? Is it a good idea? or Even possible?

It's definitely possible but I doubt you could find an off the shelf solution.
The front engine/frame mount would be my first choice for mount location.
It's solid, flat and unobstructed. Delrin is readily available in round stock and is easy to machine on a lathe so is aluminum. You might be able to supplement the front slider with a second one off the upper shock mount.
