This purchase is for a set of engine guards and skid plate for the above bike model. The engine feature a new design with UHMW-PE pucks that act as protection for the guards. The pucks can be inexpensively replace without purchasing a new set of steel guards. The steel tubing is bolted to the engine mount of the bike and the slider puck is bolted onto it. The steel tubing has two attachment points and braced together in the middle (top & bottom) to prevent them from rotating in the event of a low side. The engine guards are braced together by a crossbar in order to increase its strength. The skid plate are designed to protect your bike from dirt, mud, and other debris. The skid plate is made from precision CNC machined aircraft grade aluminum finished with black powder coating for durability. The material of the puck is made of UHMW-PE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene), a tough plastic with good strength, wear resistance and dimensional stability. It is more dimensionally stable than Nylon and used in many industrial ball bearing and friction reducing applications. Compared to Delrin, it is softer but tougher. Delrin is harder but more brittle. It is an ideal material for engine guards / frame sliders since it can absorb more impact force onto itself and therefore reduce the impact on the bike. The slider pucks can be inexpensively replaced in case of a low-side. We use highest grade commercially available 12.9(177,000 psi in tensile strength) wherever possible. Rest assured that you are getting the best material commercially available.
