Need frame sliders but my problem is bigger than it seems....
Alright, no one in the WORLD makes frame sliders for my bike. So, essentially I need to buy some for a different bike and stick them on mine. I know ppl with my bike usually buy universal sliders but I haven't been able to find any.
So, I need sliders that are about 2 inches long and fit flush to the frame since I don't need to drill any plastic where they mount to. Can anybody help me out?? Tell me if theirs look this way so I at least know what to get?? If not that then any suggestions on what to do?? Thanks guys.

This is why. The part of my frame that sticks out the most is that bottom spar where the silver plastic screws into. I figured that would be a good home for a slider and that's the only place I've seen it put on D's and E's like mine. Make sense or no??


:edit: I just realized how Goddamn dirty my bike is. I apologize.

figure out what thread pitch that screws into there and then buy the correct frame slider for it. i'd go with vortex, sato, or some other brand company known for frame sliders that hold up.
That looks like a real small bolt. An impact to a frame slider at that location could cause more damage than if it wasn't there.
Most frame sliders mount to an engine bolt because it's a stronger base. If you can locate a relatively accessible engine bolt, check on getting an adapter.

Ok the way I saw it done(correct me if this is a bad idea) but he drilled a hole trough the frame and bolted it in there with the bolt that came with the slider. That sounds really unsafe to me but it's how he did it. And don't give me the "If he jumped off a bridge" speech lol.
Anyways, if I find a decent to get to engine bolt and find out what pitch it is, can somebody help me out?? Or what do I need to do??

drilling a hole in the frame is surely the wrong thing to do in this situation. As marmalade said, find a engine mount bolt and put the slider there.
