Hey, saw the pics of your engine and rad cover they look awesome!! where did you get them?

melissa,

I got it from a local Malaysia Ninja forum.

The cost of 2 is like 290 RM or like 98 US.

I foresee the big issue will be shipping and handling.

DO NOT GET THE T-REX RACING KICKSTAND! mine fell apart on way home today... i had to put the oem one back on, and fyi a lowered bike with a long kickstand=a drop waiting to happen... lol but i have all of the t-rex racing stuff, the lowering links,spools and the frame sliders, the rest is good quality, and cheaply priced but i think they could have engineered the kickstand better.

i just checked out the t-rex website, the frame slider kit for our 250r is currently out of stock.

anywhere else carries it at the same price (or better?) $80usd.

I got the 10mm black aluminum spools and gold galvanized rear stand. The spools screwed in perfectly, and the stand was easy to put together and works great.

I used both this DIY (thanks for the pics!) and the included instructions to help me with the slider installation. Everything went smoothly up until step 10, but I'll get to that in a moment. One thing I noted is that I would not have been able to remove the engine bolt without using a jack and piece of wood to support the engine.

I was literally putting the fairings back on after having installing the brackets before I noticed that the left slider bolt would not screw in to the bracket correctly. Apparently the threads are screwed up in the bracket, because after 20 minutes of trying both bolts and from both sides of the bracket I can't get them to go more than a turn or two into the bracket

I kinda wish I had played around with the parts before hand and noticed the threading issue before I had my bike torn apart, but there's nothing I can do about it now except wait for Monday to call T-Rex and get them to send a replacement bracket.

Same damn thing just happened to me today. Installed everything. Right slider went on with a breeze. Left slider, bolt wouldn't go into the bracket. Such a pain and so pissed. They also sent me the wrong size spools. Did they resend you another bracket and bolt? I have to call them on Monday now.

guys who have installed the t-rex sliders on the 08 model how the **** do i get the damn fairings on after? They keep rubbing against the slider arm and i've scratched freshly painted fairings...this is pissing me off.

after scratching the hell out of time I figured out that you can do a put the slider through the slot and move the fairing down into place move - pretty much the only way i found.

Install the sliders and screw into their brackets AFTER you have put the fairings back on.
