Never heard of them.

I ordered a set over a week ago which is to ship out on Monday from lightning performance www.lightningperformanceproducts.ca . They are a Canadian company and I heard about them from Kahuna Powersport in North York while I was shopping for my 250r as they install these sliders for customers.

It is supposed to be a truely no-cut kit and comes with two sets of sliders wth different lengths.

It seems to be cheaper in Canada(~$139) while USA prices and ebay are about $199

I'll post my review and DIY install once I receive them.

ORRRR… you could spend less on an American company that multiple people have used and will praise their customer service!

I'm pretty sure their products aren't actually made in America, however I have multiple stands from T-Rex and they work fine.

hmm well im definitely leaning toward the trex ones now, works out to about $100 after shipping, just gotta figure out whos gonna deliver it to me cuz it can only ship in america and not canada.

they specifically mention “made in USA” in each and every product description, At least in their ebay store. Maybe you have some insider information?

I didn't see that in any of the descriptions on their eBay listings.

I don't know where you see that they cant ship to Canada. I emailed them and they said theyd ship to Canada but it would be expensive and it was.

That is actually my kit im trying to sell, I just seen this thread now !

If anyone is interested its still available and Im willing to let it go for $100 bucks.

Only reason Im selling my kit is because I bought the shogun kit, and my gf went bought this kit for me to surprise me not knowing I already ordered my shogun kit! The local dealership overcharged her and has a stupid restocking fee. So its really my loss (well my gf's) and your gain!!

PM me if interested!
