Lots on Ebay under "crash bobbins" or "Mushrooms" for as little as £15.
Cheers, Carl

I am pretty sure you have to order Motosliders from the US. Apparently they still work out cheaper than R&G's though.

Look'd through comments on the forum,and have come to the conclusion that people that have experienced them (crash tested) the Motorsliders seem to stand up best.

Mainly because they're cheaper and better

Best bet is to go straight to Nate and get them from him- even with US postage the prices are still very reasonable. But, there's another company that made exact copies of the Motosliders, Motovation was it? Bike Johnny sold them, and they worked out cheaper than Motosliders for basically the same product. I'd sooner get the originals rather than get a rip-off but it was a good price.

They're not the only great crash bung tho, GSG Moko seem to be at least as good. More expensive though. They look better too. The old JHS ones were fantastic, best there was I reckon, but they're no longer available sadly. No doubt there's others.

Was just about to order a set of frame and swingarm from http://www.10bomb.com/store/catalog/home.php

Including shipping from the US total $101.49 (about £50) which i thought was a good deal,but i will check out Nate first. Thanks
