    £135 for genuine Triumph engine sliders, picked them up today and fitted them to my Speed Triple R '16 myself
    Tourqued up the engine bolts to 80nm with a few drops of blue thread lock

    They look fantastic asthetically, however, they are not as good quality as I was hoping for, the actual slider is very light and hollow, it looks solid in the picture but is is a hollow shell that bolts to the holder that is attached with the engine bolt

    I thought they would be a heavy solid rubber/plastic unit similar to the R&G sliders, but they are not.
    In the event of a slide I have to say I do not thing they would last long
    In the event of a standing drop then yes they would work.

    If you are looking at purchasing these, ask to look and handle them first before paying.

    I fitted my MGS upper crash bungs yesterday. Very pleased with them. U feel they would help protect the bike if I dropped it.
