Hey guys I am just wondering if someone has one they either want to sell, or if they have one that we can use a base model to make more. I have someone who might be willing to do a run of them, we just need one to measure

I have one but its worn pretty good. It didn't seem to fit very good.

You talkin about the powerlip chain slide by TM designs or the fancy guides for around $60-70?I have a brand new slide never installed that I got with a PRM skid plate for my LT250...Not sure if I want to sell it but I,d be more than happy to let you use it to mock something up.Mind you I,m up in Ontario Canada so the shipping may be too much $$$.

This is the one I have,you can see 2 bolts hold it on the plate.

pretty sure chris is looking for the one that goes on the swingarm. haven't been made since 2007. well that was when i asked if they had any.

i bought one in 98-99 when they started making them. lasted till i put this swingarm on a few years back. they were made to good, they didn't really wear out. worth every penny.

OK,wasn,t sure.I have a new OE one on my swingarm,that one looks like a definite step up.

What make of swinger is that with the round carrier?

its a lonestar. those sliders are the best if you can find one.

that pic was to show how the skid will hit the chain in the front. had to space the skid about an inch lower

Ya my 250 had to be tweaked a bit for the same reason.

I would take a few myself if we can get a run of them done.

these should hold up.

Those are the same as the oem ones, I find they are not stiff enough for use on the aftermarket swing arms like the metal tech and stellar ones. They don't have enough support.

GrkGuy · « **Reply #12 on:** February 17, 2013, 08:25:57 am »

what about a 250 one, i do have one of those

I originally posted about finding a TM designs chain slider about a month ago.

I talked to the owner of TM and they said we need to do a run of at least 100 and I said if we do that then we could not pay retail and the guy agreed but even at say $35 a piece that be a $3,500 order for chain sliders.

I'd be in for 3 or 4 at that price.

The other alternative is since these are made in a CNC is to get a brand new one, program the CNC, find the material and make our own I was talking to Mitch about this.

Does anybody have a new one they could donate for setting up the CNC specs I do not think it would be harmed in any way

cworobec · « **Reply #14 on:** February 17, 2013, 02:34:21 pm »

That's why I am looking for a new one. I am after the same thing. Making some in a cnc.

QuadMan8 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 17, 2013, 03:23:33 pm »

Curious, does the swing arm have to be removed to attach one or do the just bolt on.

Alkyzilla · « **Reply #16 on:** February 17, 2013, 05:16:09 pm »

I have one on a bike, has some chain wear but i believe could be used for overall dimensions, pretty grubby right now. I'm willing to donate to get some made............. That one Stpltn250r has looks new....?

cworobec · « **Reply #17 on:** February 17, 2013, 08:22:57 pm »

Could you send me some pics of yours dale and I can let you know is it will work

Stpltn250r · « **Reply #18 on:** February 17, 2013, 10:53:26 pm »

when i put mine on i had to remove the swingarm. or just move it in such away the front of the slider would go around the pivot tube.

cworobec · « **Reply #19 on:** February 27, 2013, 04:18:02 pm »

hey dale, did you get a chance to get some pics of that tm designs slider you have or see what kind of shape its in?
