Hello All,


Recently joined, about an hour ago. I am a member on the 899 site but get little response there. I am wondering if anyone has tried out the T Rex sliders, they seem to provide more coverage than the R and G sliders and are also cheaper.

If anyone is of any help in that area I would be greatful.

I hope to learn much here from you all, Thank you!

Welcome to the forum, while I do not have an 899 I did try the T-rex on my 848 like you I like the extra coverage. I kept getting my feet hung up on them. Ended up going with the speedymoto. But if you look up T-rex on this site many have given them a favorable reviews.

I appreciate the feedback. I may go with this and place the order tonight. I do have size 12 shoes so I hope to avoid hanging up but I dont do much foot moving. I do need to invest in gilles tooling footpegs for better grip as well.

Speedymoto has been great so far, protected my bike on each of my low sides and easy to replace the pucks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I went with the TRex sliders, easy to replace the pucks as well. Great coverage and I am pretty confident in them.

There is an appetite for risk, of sorts, associated with frame sliders:

The further they stick out the more they protect, but also the greater the risk they pose for getting caught on something in the event of a slide and doing exponentially more damage than that which they are so provisioned.

I agree, though with the beveled sides such as these. they're less likely to catch. I assumed the risk in hopes of avoiding any contact with the fairings to the ground. I am also getting the R and G style carbon tail sliders. They look slick and seem to provide more function than nothing at all. It's always a 50/50 as to whether we should use sliders or not. I prefer something over nothing.

If I could afford to just replace everything if I wrecked, I'd keep it sleek and basic.
