Flat slides and street use?
« on: May 02, 2010, 05:18:12 PM »
just wondering if flat slides would be good for street use? I have heard this but don't have any experience with flat slides or round slides.

Are flat slides easily adapted to the CB750s?

Flatslides work well on the street. They are hard to fine for CB750's. I have a set TMR's (32mm) to be installed

But at current rates, that 2,295 euros becomes $2842.12 USD!!!

That's 2295.00 dollars...not euros. They very well may be cheaper as the euro is down against the dollar.

He said they were a #$%* to fit onto the insulators. The TMR adaptors are perfect. The throttle return spring is sinfully easy on the TMR's. ;)
