Title: Chain Sliders, Rollers, Rub Blocks
Post by: havinnoj on April 16, 2018, 11:37:45 PM

Never really though too much about these - usually grabbed UPP stuff and has worked well in the sand.  Have a couple TM swingarm sliders - also nice.  What’s everyone prefer for sliders, rollers, and that little rub block/slider?

I use TM sliders and TM rub block on the frame

I use oem sliders & they seem to hold up pretty good in the sand to. The rollers & rub blocks on both R's are whatever I could find that was cheapest.

I use TM, but have made custom to utilize the material that has better wear characteristics.

I use whatever I can find also. Lol. Currently using tm stuff. Maybe I should make my own. Nothing difficult about this stuff.

I had to grab a UPP case saver awhile back so I went with all UPP stuff. I think it's a bit softer than the TM units i've had previously. But no real complaints so far

Thanks guys. Can you still get the OEM lower rub block (piece that goes behind the sprocket, under the swingarm)?

Unfortunately those OEM rub blocks are another part Honda added to their discontinued list... I think the one's I got are Moose & they were only $13 at DTR.
