I'm looking at taking the stock Yamaha engine guards off and changing them for a set of Cycle One Off's frame sliders/engine guards. http://www.cycleoneoff.com/v-maxpartspage1.html Questions I have for anybody that has them, first how long are they? and two, can they comfortably be used for...

While looking at solid motor mounts, I have found a lot of people have installed both solid motor mounts and frame braces. Given the solid mounts should turn your engine into a brace can any one explain the benefit of both modifications? Specifically has any one installed the solid mounts...

I picked up some 3/4" stainless tubing from work. (free so I had to take it home!) Thinking on making some frame braces. More for just looks. I have an idea how to mount them on the front, but back by the seat I'm stumped. Just wondering how the ones you buy mount. Do they clamp around the...

Is Holeshot down? I'm saving for some frame braces and holeshot site isn't up. I RMS the only other vendor who makes these?

I purchased a set of used RMS Torque Rod frame braces but they did not come with instruction or the tab to weld in since they are used. The tab I am not worried about because I can get those locally but what I am looking for is someone who is running these braces, who can provide an upclose...

So now that Ive basically totaled my Dads bike:bang head::bang head:, its time to build one out of two. Yes I have two Maxs to work with here. The older one that has been sitting for 8 yrs or so is 90% there. Got parked after a minor lay down that screwed something up and it would never steer...

After what the genius did to my bike in the parking lot I think I want to get some frame sliders. I'm not sure which ones to get though, I've seen the ones on COO's site and a set of Delkevic on ebay. I'm just curious what anyone has had best luck with? Thanks

I'm starting my frame swap project this afternoon... salvage title bike plus clean title frame equals happy insurance agent! Anyway, I'm used to working on Ducati's, where the engine is a stressed member of the frame. Most of them would start a complete rebuild by putting the engine on a jack...

I made my own frame braces today out of some stuff I had lying around the house. I have really wanted some but couldnt justify the cost honestly...:confused2: So they are technically more like "racer bars" but you get the point,hopefully they will reduce frame flex a little in the twisties...

..It's been a long process - but just wanted share some pics with ya'll .. ..Now just need a motor :(

I have decided to build my own frame braces ,since I have more time and talent than money. I just finished machining the end fastening points. I need now to build the little weld tabs and then bend the tubing ( hopefully this week sometime) Then weld them together. I have bent up some Tig...

I have been looking for some frame braces. Some look pretty cool, and some look like they do the job and that is about it. I figure that something of that size out in the open better be pretty nice instead of " just do the job" so to speak. Are there and suggestions that you guys might have? I...

So i got my frame braces a while back, and the p/o had put a really ugly badge on them, so i have 2 holes on each. i was thinking of putting two more holes and trying to put some spikes on the frame braces, i think it'd look kinda trick. thing is, most of the accent spikes need the backside of...

Coolest looking frame brace I've seen. Also a great looking knee brace. Anyone know where to get that frame brace? ________ Fourth Generation Subaru Legacy specifications

I am going to install solid motor mounts in my bike but I would also like to install frame braces, they seem rather pricey for what they appear to be. Has anyone made their own set, if so do you have any pics and how you went about it thanks

Are there any bolt-on frame braces that will fit with a Corbin seat that do not require mods to the seat?

Well I decided to build a new bike. Won't start until fall. The new Max will be a road bike with occasional runs at the drag strip. It will be a 1260 with Electronic Fuel Injection and a Blow Thru Turbo. It will have a complete 4130 chrome moly frame with chain drive. The wheel base will be 60"...

Anyone got a source for frame sliders/engine guards that are long enough too double as pegs?
