Woodcraft Bar-End Sliders

[RidersDiscount]

When a bike goes down, the bar-end is one area that is almost always going to make contact with the asphalt, and the stock bar-ends don’t provide much in the way of crash protection. Installing a set of Woodcraft Bar-End sliders is an easy and affordable way to add some extra security to this vulnerable area.

 

Woodcraft Bar-End Sliders use a durable puck that helps convert an impact into a slide, thereby reducing the amount of impact energy transmitted through the bars and lowering the chance that they will catch or grab the pavement. These recently redesigned sliders also feature a perpendicular mounting bolt that enters through the side of the puck instead of the end. This means that each puck has a larger contact patch due to the fact that the center isn’t drilled out for the bolt. It also means that pucks are easier to replace after a crash since the bolt doesn’t get buried under the molten plastic that would normally build up in the during a slide.

 

Woodcraft Bar-End Sliders will fit bars with a 5/8” inner diameter and are available in three versions:
Weighted (4.5 ounces) - $49.98
Unweighted (2 ounces) - $39.98
Unweighted w/ Hand Guard Mount (Hand Guard sold separately) - $49.98

The pucks are replaceable and are secured to the base with a perpendicular mount bolt. This means that each puck has a larger contact patch due to the fact that the center isn’t drilled out for the bolt. It also means that pucks are easier to replace after a crash since the bolt doesn’t get buried under the molten plastic that would normally build up in the during a slide.
