    Hey buddy. I appreciate the comment, that's very cool of you. The "frame sliders" are actually bicycle pegs I painted black. I then used some thin metal and filled the end of the pegs with them so they looked like a solid piece. The plugs fell out recently but I'll make new ones soon enough. I put them on after having dropped the bike while trying to back it out of my garage and christ it was heavy so these should help hold it up high enough to give me leverage to lift it up and protect engine junk. I was going to buy universal frame sliders but they look silly and the mounting would not work with the bolts they come with. I bought 8 BMX type pegs on ebay for $5 shipped but walmart has plenty that look less like pegs when painted. Now the silver foot pegs were $8 shipped on ebay. I found some that had a similar looking attachment to the stock pegs, bought them, drilled the hole in them large enough to accommodate the stock mounting stuff and with a couple washers to hold them up they fit just right. I'm no pro by any stretch of the imagination so I make no guarantee as to how everything will work out in the end but it is fun to improvise. Best of luck.
