Frame Sliders

Promoto take design and quality very seriously. Only the strongest, most resilient materials are used to ensure strength, performance and appearance. State of the art manufacturing techniques like CNC machining, laser cutting and MIG welding are used in the production process for accuracy and perfect fit. The brackets are made from high tensile steel alloy for great strength and minimal weight, aluminium components are usually made from aircraft grade 7075 T6511, the bolts are de-embrittled, high tensile items, zinc plated and clear chromated, the "plastic" used in the sliders is Acetal for abrasion resistance and strength. All metallic components are fully finished for corrosion resistance and durability as well as a pleasing appearance.

Some points requiring careful consideration during the design process are based on factors such as chassis design (Is the frame design and materials used conducive to using Oggy Knobbs?); the location points on the bike (Will these be strong enough to take the force of a crash impact without bending the rest of the bike or breaking the cylinder head or some other component?); and is there bodywork involved (Will owners want to modify their fairings or can a version with brackets be designed to avoid any modifications?).

Naturally, the biggest question is what will an Oggy Knobb save in a crash? The usual answer is if it can save the fuel tank and radiator (where applicable) then it is worth saving. Further protection to bodywork and other components is a bonus. Not every model of bike can accept Oggy Knobbs.

Most Oggy Knobbs kits are designed to fit without any fairing modifications, also known as "no cut", whereas most other brands require cutting into the fairing. Some bikes may have both a “cut” and a “no cut” option. The “cut” option will be cheaper/lighter and is best suited to racing use where cutting fairings is of lesser importance. Refer to the fitment tables on page 5 for your model regarding any modifications.

Be diligent, get your Oggy Knobbs now and protect your investment before its too late. They will only cost you a fraction of the average bike repair bill. If you do have a crash and need to replace parts, spares are available.
