Well - that is a nice little track you've got there! I hope that you can figure out a way to keep those sliders from breaking, good luck!

Suggestion though - if you can swing it, maybe buy a smaller bike for your track.
like maybe a pocket rocket.... lol lol lol lol.... have you thought about not using sliders at all.... for as hard as you are on the bike i don't think any sliders in the world would be able to wit stand those kind of crashed..... and i've seen alot of crashes where guys had sliders and it really didn't help too much..... specially if your going in too hot... but hey nice track though.....

Not to bash you bro but it sounds like your grabing to much break in the turns. You got to slow down before you enter the turn. As for the sliders mybe find an harden steel bolt and try it that might help keep the sliders on but not sure about the tab breaking off the frame.

Maybe your all right? Braking to hard that is..

a track school.. i think would be my best bet, rather then a track day
at this point

but hey... my tuck and rolls are getting smoother.. LOL

I do thank everyone very much for the input.
and im also glad to find a Kawi forum that has some good ppl on it with positive input into a problem
(some forums ive visited.. had plenty of ars holes with nothing good to say)

Thanks Again
Keep the shiny side up

Hey bro check out these books, Twist of the Wrist and Twist of the Wrist 2. Wrote by Keith Code who also operates California Super Bike School. Great reading It has helped my riding and I agree on the track school I want to do that too.

You can buy a mig welder for $250 @$12 a pound of welding wire. Learn how to weld it comes with instructions. Welding shield $10. Probly cheeper at a yard sale.
