APA Catch/Containment/Sliders.

[Muzzard]

Thanks to Steve (APA) a parcel van arrived at my house and brought in a box that he had posted a few days ago.
Inside the box was 3 bags containing 1 of each of his Catch bottle/Crankcase Containment/Coolant Bottle systems, a nice yellow exhaust slider and some stickers.
Unfortunately this afternoon I got bored and fitted the fuel containment catch bottling system to my WRF :D and some neat stickers to the sides of my fork legs next to the headlight unit so you can see them.
But once again I am in dilemma to get the best for Steve I need to get the product around more than just here in the Country.
Neil gets the next choice for whichever he would like for his new Husky,
I will give the slider to Brett, cause he is always crashing,
And the last one I will discuss with Neil and post who the lucky bugger is to score a free bottle system to fit to their bike.
I will post the pictures of my fitment tomorrow morning and bring the other components to the track day on the 11th...
There is also 2 sets of very good quality front guard stickers (1 curved, 1 straight) that are available for folks to affix to their bikes.
If you have no intention of leaving the stickers on for the advertising to help out Steve,
Please dont ask can you have them.
Brett will have to put his stickers somewhere prominent too for the start of his 'sponsorship' he has so long yearned for...

[shane]

very nice muzz :D :D hows the quality ????????from the pics they looks top class . big props to steve at APA for sending them out , i hope all the guys get together and support him with orders, as he is supporting VSMR and supermoto 8) 8) 8)

[Muzzard]

Very good quality Shane.
I made a different fitting to mount it only because of the deep ears on the long range Acerbis tank on my WRF made the placement difficult.
The mount I made is simple, a longer bolt with a alloy tube collar to space the bottle from the mount.
Generous in the supply of the tubing, in fact I have a couple of lengths left over, not that I incorrectly fitted it, but that he has not left you short like so many things like this that you buy, get home, go to fit, and find the fucking hoses are too short.
Not here matey! ;)
Nice heavy silicone soft hose, it doesn't kink easily, and I got spiffy racing red ones,
Sibbo will never pass me now! :twisted:
We better send him over some stickers and a TShirt at least for his effort.
I like the size of the units, they are compact and neat, vulcanised with an alloy threadsert into the side, comes with good instructions inclosed and should be able to be easily fitted by an amateur...

[Muzzard]

OK after discussion with the Board of Directors,
Jovian has been awarded his choice of either an
APA Crankcase Containment System or an
APA Radiator Coolant Containment System.:D

Neil has decided to offer his unit (whichever is left) to Ash on the grounds that Ash rides everywhere on his motard, is a long standing member having made contribution, and aware of the need for exposure for Steve.
Besides Neil believes we need to treat the twins the same.
If one gets one thing, the others got to have something too.
Bretts got his slider, Ash has a catch bottle system.
No squabbling you 2 :lol: ...
Freebies means good behaviour and clean bikes...

[Flash]

:up: Whoo hoo! Thanks guys and Steve "APA" for that! I was thinking about a catch bottle for the 11th.
Are the stickers big or small like the VSMR curved ones :-k I was thinking of puting it the rear guard to match the VSMR one there.

Thanks again Guys :D

[APA]

WOW I was just loging in to see if the package had arived yet. Glad to hear it made it nice and fast.

Thanks for the props. I usually charge for the thick stickers but if you guys email me after placing an order I will make sure to toss in a set. Availible in Black on White and White on Black....curved for fenders and straight for swingarm or what ever......Oval also included with every product.

[Muzzard]

I got bored again and fitted the straight thick vinyl stickers to my swingarm, so they are now used...
Looks exactly like the YZ in the picture, nice bike, will make Sibbo go off! and will post my pics when the camera arrives home :roll:
Thanks Steve...

[Sibbo]

Great, I cant wait to start testing the performance of the pipe slider.

My rear guard is clean without scratches (yet) or any other decals or crap, so it will be the perfect location for a bit of advertising. I will do a product report on it after the track day, in an attempt to be as prof. as possible.

Once again, thanks.

thats awesome guys !!!!! Thanks heaps. I was actually pretty interested in this stuff cause I have found it pretty difficult to get home made stuff to fit the husky. Now that I am doing more pratice days etc i really need the bike to have this stuff. I think I might take the coolant system.

Thanks to u guys and thanks Steve at APA for sending the stuff !!!!!!!! :D

made my day.

[SM93]

funnily enough its actually my birthday today, so thanks for the present !!!!!!!!!

[Sibbo]

Happy birthday you old bastard. Do you sunburnt people get tomorrow off for the race? Cos that will be perfect for your hangover!

[SM93]

no day off for the race :( but there is a practice day today at one of big karts tracks so i will be there. Next year the Melbourne cup is on my birthday so i will be there for sure. And i am not old only 25, now i can get one of those stickers -ok/25

[Sibbo]

25 is the start of the downhill slide!

[SM93]

i dunno sibbo i think i actually get better with age :lol:

[Sibbo]

So your were really shit as a kid?

[Muzzard]

Happy B/Day Jove.
Give us ya address and the APA Coolant Containment System is on its way mate. :D

[Flash]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[APA]

Hey guys.....Please post pictures!

:needpics:

[cornerspeed]

Hey guys.....Please post pictures!

:needpics:

No worrie mate. As soon as I get the net re-connected at home, I'll post some up for you.

[Muzzard]

Hey guys.....Please post pictures!

:needpics:
Getting there Steve.
Jovian is in Brisbane and he hasn't received his system yet, we were sending it with a TShirt this week.
I didnt get to the track day because of family, so Brett cant show you the slider and stickers he's fitted yet either.
I will post up mine as soon as I can get the friggin' camera back today...

[Sibbo]

I didnt get to the track day because of family, so Brett cant show you the slider and stickers he's fitted yet either.
You better be quick, all these other offers are now comming in, like "Sibbo, can we pay you to ride our bike, cos your so cool". :lol: :lol:

[Wobbly]

Are these the sort of offers you are getting in between closing your eyes at night and opening them in the morning? :lol2:

[SM93]

as soon as i get mine i will fit it and post a pic. prepare to be dazzled.

[Sibbo]

Are these the sort of offers you are getting in between closing your eyes at night and opening them in the morning? :lol2:
Hmm....might be....cos thats when the hot naked women are around as well, then I wake up and my life is shit again, ie, no hot naked women or sponsors :?

[dangermouse1100]

Never mind Sibbo, at least dreams are free :D

[APA]

OK humor the dam yankee......whats a Sibbo???

[Wobbly]

A sibbo is a strange, rarely seen creature that lurks in internet forums. They pop up from time to time posting pictures of naked chicks and enjoy ragging on 4 stroke engines while secretly going out and buying them ;)

Here's a picture I found of one snapped in its natural habittat of talking crap and trying to get freebies :lol2:

http://vsmr.net/files/sibbo.jpg

[Sibbo]

A tremendously talented and stunningly handsome chappy, who can ride the pants of any bike known to man.

[Sibbo]

whats a Sibbo???
What did you think a Sibbo was? You must of had some thoughts.

[Flash]

A knob! :jerk:












:D

[Sibbo]

Thanks MoFo.

[Flash]

Oooooh sorry, I'll give you a cuddle tomorrow!! :lol: :lol:

[SMC690]

I need to place an order Mr. APA.
Should I PM you?
I have no credit card so I can only do Western or M/Order.

I need a Catch tank for FCR, I have the hose.
Also 2 sliders for me mufflers and anything else that tickles my fanny I see on your site.

I don't have to ride to work anymore which is good.
It looks like Vicroads may want to remove my licence from me for blindness issues. The feckers.
At the next track day I am going to 'ride it like I stole it' or as Shane says 'win it or bin it'.

[Wobbly]

How did they find out!? :?

[shane]

that just means more trackdays then for you ...................

[SMC690]

How did they find out!? :?

If the doctor advises them.
He told me not to ride/drive for three months.
I turned up to the last appointment on that beautiful (NOT!) day last Wednesday saturating wet after riding in the rain & hail from Tulla to the Austin. He wasn't amused.
It was a sketchy ride over but I just let my tyres down a bit more. ;)
I have to see him every week at the moment so I'm trying to do a little social engineering and convince him not to advise them.

I thought it was crap as mofo's with glass eyes can drive can't they?
I had a look at the vicroads site but couldn't find any info.

I'll see how it plays out.

Emal me at sales@AdvancedPerformanceAccessories.com and remind me who you are. We take Debit Cards also.

[Muzzard]

I haven't had a chance to post pictures yet Steve.
The camera found its way to S.A. with my son.. :roll:
Will be done this week for sure mate. ;)

[APA]

:roost:

[MarkeeMark]

Hey Juz let me know before you order as I want a muffler slider as well and I'll pay with my card and we can get them sent over all together to save freight.
Steve is this cool? Some stickers would be sweet too :)

[APA]

Will do just let me know after you place your order.

Any one else want in on this???

[Sibbo]

It looks like Vicroads may want to remove my licence from me for blindness issues.
Tell them you cant find your license, something like this.

"I am blind remember, you come over and find my lecense for me if you want to take it!".

[SM93]

Got ,my APA coolant system today !!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

The quality is really good very happy with it. I am due to replace the radiator fluid so it works out perfect.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow, so it shouldn't be to much of a challenge for me and my keyboard hands

Thanks again Steve and Muzz, I think i will be making an order for the fuel system before race season next year. I will have some pics on the weeknd.


BTW - i think the blue and white VSMR sticker is the best of the lot, it stands out and gets the point across. Would look good in a large size that covered the whole fork protector.

[Muzzard]

No probs Jovian.
Happy but belated Birthday mate.
The stickers are pretty basic and thats why I wanted to go with something like that for the fork legs and posted a quick idea into the other thread for the stickers.
No one really added any input but Neil.
Its a piss easy thing to do really, and that was the second last one of them,
So need to think about something to include the web address as well.

[SM93]

the other stickers are a bit hard to read. plus the blue and white would be a good contrast for just about any colour bike keep it simple i reckon. on a longer fork guard stick it should all be able to fit.

[APA]

So.... :poke:

:needpics:

:laughing_sign:

[Sibbo]

I finally got it, so expect the report and pics on Monday. It looks good.

[Muzzard]

3 of the 4 bikes will be at the GPTC on the 16th Steve.
We can get them all together then and snap away.
Being spread out a bit has taken some time to get things to different people too.
Jovian will post his up as soon as he finds his camera too. ;)

[APA]

I just added a new Catch Tank System for the NEW Honda CRF150R

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/lumpy790/IMGP4147.jpg

[SM93]

Sorry my pics are taking so long. The scumbags that have been tryin to steal my bikes are still lurking around so at the moment my bike is not at my house. I will be getting my camera back this weekend and will go from there.

[Sibbo]

I think that Jovians catch tank should be sent to me, so then you will get a review posted up :poke:

[SM93]

its in the mail sibbo.............not

i haven't seen anyone else's pic's yet either

[Sibbo]

Well, everyones stuff can come to me. Thats how it should of been to start with. :D

[Muzzard]

Yeah right...
Check your fax for the invoice for the last 3 years worth of work...

[Sibbo]

Yeah right...
Check your fax for the invoice for the last 3 years worth of work...
yeah....but I am the blow in that takes all the credit for doing none of the work, makes all the money, gets all the stuff, leaves the sport in a shambles and moves off to do the same to something else....hang on, that is like every promoter :roll:

[Muzzard]

Well, everyones stuff can come to me. Thats how it should of been to start with. :D

Mmm,
Just got a motard a few months ago didnt you?
And then you dont ride it everyday either, so what advantage is there to anybody supplying items to be evaluated and displayed static in the shed..
By the way,
Wheres the stickers saying where it came from?
You are lucky now, so dont push it :chainsaw: ...

[Sibbo]

The stickers on the rear guard.
http://vsmr.net/albums/Husaberg/Berg_008_Large.sized.jpg

I must say I am hugely thankful to get anything for nothing and I will do my best to talk to people about the slider and give them an honest review of it, how it performs, etc.

My bike always attracts a fair bit of attention where ever it goes, being rare exotica and all, so its not a bad bike to go on, cos everyone will see the slider, the slider will also get a work out, so what better bike to be on, cos it can be product tested.

[Muzzard]

Not that sticker.:roll:
Or did Ash seize the long curved ones?

[Flash]

I don't have them SIbbo did you take the Stickers?

[SM93]

i have the curved ones but i might get the blue and white vsmr stickers made up for the fork protector when i get number plates and new front stickers

[Muzzard]

All good so long as someone will have them displayed. ;)

[Sibbo]

I don't have them SIbbo did you take the Stickers?
No, but your car had some nice stickers on it.

Seriously, I did not get a sticker, maybe it is still in your car?

[Flash]

I'll take them on Saturday for you!

[Sibbo]

Shit hot cus.

I hope I have room on the rear guard to fit em up.

[shane]

maybe you can stick them on your new leathers sibbo , sorry forgot less room on them than you rear guard due to your large amount of sponsor logo' :shock: :shock: :roll: :roll:

[Sibbo]

:oops: I guess I am a :jerk: but if anyone calls me that :twak:

Its for intimidating blokes on 250/300's and blinding everyone else with the bright flashy colours :D

And in who's email did someone say, put heaps of logos on it, cos they look heaps better that way.....hmmm.... :-k :axe:

[shane]

just stirring you up champ, they look as flash as fuck . you will look fast just sitting in the pits :D :D

[Sibbo]

:supz: :blob:

[devo]

just stirring you up champ, they look as flash as fuck . you will look fast, only when sitting in the pits :D :D

^^^ Corrected. ;)

Am I allowed to make fun of sibbo? One slow bloke calling another slow bloke slow... kinda like a black guy saying nigger? :lol2:

[Sibbo]

=D> :rofl:
So if your the same speed as me ("slow"), the fast guys in Qld must be something else :D

[devo]

You should see my leathers though mate. :roll: Haha.


But back on APA for a moment. Does anyone else still have some stuff to order. I'm thinking along the lines of combining freight.

[APA]

On the web site (not eBay) I keep the freight charges very reasonable.

[APA]

Yeah right...
Check your fax for the invoice for the last 3 years worth of work...
yeah....but I am the blow in that takes all the credit for doing none of the work, makes all the money, gets all the stuff, leaves the sport in a shambles and moves off to do the same to something else....hang on, that is like every promoter :roll:

Ted of Nasmoto is that you???

[Muzzard]

We haven't heard of Teds exploits in Nasmoto mate.
Is that why there is a 'shift in thinking' within Nasmoto sponsors and real racers Steve?
You would also be one of the ones with the 'shift in thinking' I would suggest right?
We have our own counterpart here too but his name isnt Ted,
And luckily not Brett/Sibbo either...

[Sibbo]

We have our own counterpart here too but his name isnt Ted, And luckily not Brett/Sibbo either...
Its @#%$&^$& (edit).

And if I could make $$ out of you buggers, I would be already. Well not really, I can make more money out of my work than I could ever make out of bikes, hence my choice of work.

For thoes of you that dont know what I do, I make people rich.

[MarkeeMark]

But back on APA for a moment. Does anyone else still have some stuff to order. I'm thinking along the lines of combining freight.

Devo, myself and Justin (SMC625) were going to order some stuff but we're in Melb so I dunno if that'll help you.
Juz if you read this let me know if you still want to order.

Mark

[devo]

Sure, it might help. ???

Split postage to Melbourne, I pay to Brisbane. If split is a shit load less than individual postage from US you've had a win. If post to bris doesnt kill it, Ive had a win. If it is bugger all difference Id of course just save everyone the hassle.

APA, how does the postage you use get priced? Cheers.

I only charge $7.50 US for international postage. I am not sure what the exchange rate is between here and there.

If you go to the site and place your items in the shopping cart and go like you are finishing it will add the postage. There is a certain $$ point and the postage should start going down.

Buy 3 catch Tank kits and get a FREE Muffler Slider!




Nasmoto was a big problem as they did not do the things they were to do and specifically stated in the contract. Yesterday I was told by a reliable source that there will never again be a Nasmoto race.

[Sibbo]

Where does the "make me rich" line start? :-k
Well first you need to sponsor a famous Aussi Berg rider, get your product in pics all round the world and then the orders will come flowing in :lol:

But if you want a few tips, ask away.

[devo]

I was expecting a figure roughly 10 times that. :o

I will place an order soon APA. Thanks.
:)

[APA]

I am going to have to modify the shipping some. I just sent an order with 12 carb hose kits & 2 axle blocks and only charged them $7.50 for shipping to Singapore. It cost me $30.05!!!

[devo]

$8 then?

Seriously though, I just popped through an order. I've emailed you also.

[Muzzard]

Angus can you please post the pictures you took of Steves Catch system fitted to the Mootard from Friday night mate.
Cheers ;)

[APA]

$8 then?

Seriously though, I just popped through an order. I've emailed you also.

Got it and will ship today.

[APA]

We Are Not Men.....We Are DEVO - For 3 Catch Tanks & 1 Muffler slider you paid $7.50 and it cost me $16.75

I will eat the extra shipping for you guys as long as the parts purchased are $150 or more.

[devo]

Thats still bugger all for shipping APA and I dont think anyone would care paying that (myself included). It's the guys who make profit on the shipping that give me the shits.

But then again, if everyone orders more than $150 worth of stuff that cant be a bad thing. ;)

Looking forward to the product. Cheers.

[SM93]

Hello, finally got the bike to a safe place and fitted the APA coolant system.

It was a fairly simple operation as the system comes with instructions, featuring a labelled picture rather than some crappy 3-D diagram (which i think made it very easy to understand). The product is very well made, neat and I was very happy with the overall quality.

To fit is a fairly simple process ;

Remove tank, mount to suitable part of the bike, put some water in the system and connect the tubes to the system and radiator, replace tank.

The tip I have is to make sure u have found a suitable place where the system will fit with the tank on with the system house connected. This will save u the embrassment of havin to take every thing off and start again. Of course I did that :oops: Also use hot water on the pipe when fitting them to system and the radiator as it makes it about a thousand times easier.

I also needed to use a differrent mounting bracket to the one supplied as it was not long enough for where i mounted mine. As you can see from the pics its just a longer peice of metal so its no big deal to get from Bunnings (the bit i used was just lyin around in the shed dreaming of being a motard). I may have only of needed to do this due to my place of mounting (under radiator shroud screw-in point on the front of the throttle side radiator) and because Huskies like to be different and sometimes difficult.

Overall it was pretty simple thing to do and if I can do it any one can. As my Dad tells me I am not very mechanically minded but I think i am alright, i did rebuild a 2 stroke once and got it run on the fourth try :lol: . I think it could be done in 30-40 minutes easily.

Thanks again Steve, Neill and Muzz for the system greatly appreciated and will come in handy for next year :D

Guys the way you mounted them I suspect you will have some jetting/running issues. Gas does not flow up hill very well.

This is how they should be mounted....below the float bowl so the line can drain.

I cut and drill the brackets so how much longer do you think the Husky bracket should be? 10-15mm?

Looks like the Husky coolant level fittings should be moved also.


.

[SM93]

i would say 15 mm to be safe.


What do mean moved can you explain thanks,

[Muzzard]

Not really anywhere else to mount it on the WRF Steve because of the starter housing.
Its about as low as it will go and still clear the clutch activation bracket, and it works fine.
I have not found any issues yet with the function of the carb adversely.
All good here Steve. ;)

[APA]

i would say 15 mm to be safe.


What do mean moved can you explain thanks,

For Huskys it looks like the clear coolant level sight tube fittings need to be moved to the rear side so you can see it easier. Its looks like it is in the back now.

[SM93]

i notice that it was different to the intructions but did not see it as a big problem, unless u think it will affect how it works ? it can easily be switched ot the other side of the bike so it can be seen.

what type of bike is the stuff based around, jap bikes mainly ?

I also bent the new mount alittle to so it fits the snug inside the fairings to. do u have an example of ur stuff fitted to huskies ? I need a fuel containment system but the line set ups are pretty weird on my bike and i might have to mount it under/ near the air box

[devo]

Hrm. Well i've got a set of tanks coming for the EXC. I'll fit them up when they arrive and let you guys know how i go.

[APA]

Here in the states its mainly Honda, Yamaha & KTM's

[devo]

Even though the gear from APA arrived ages ago, I've only just fitted it all up in anticipation of my first track day. I went the long way round in terms of brackets, but to get it to fit exactly how you want it you'll need to.

There might be better locations, but in case it helps anyone, this is what I worked out.

Bracket for coolant tank.
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/169/422532097_a7428fa1f2.jpg

Coolant tank fitted

All Done. Pretty much the only spot for the coolant tank as there's nothing to bolt to on the left radiator tank. This means swapping the hoses around as the radiator overflow one isnt long enough (radiator cap is on the left).

Bracket for crank case breather - this is just me being anal as I didnt want the tank sticking out.

...just dont forget to plug the fitting for the crank case breather on the carb. A synthetic cork drilled out did the job.

And thanks to APA for the free zorst slider. It and the rest of the tanks really look the goods. :D

Any reason you didn't use one tank for all the hoses?

[Tom]

Very neat fab work by the way.

[devo]

The radiator overflow is a neat little setup which allows the coolant to be sucked back into the radiator as it cools down, not crucial but nice for slow trail riding and traffic which I do a bit of both. The crank case breather needs to be free flowing yet not blow a mist of oil everywhere (or straight into the carb), so APA's system works nicely. Fuel was also a neat little setup so I bought it. :D I wouldve got the genuine KTM one if I realised there was one available, it hides nicely down behind the swingarm pivot.

So yeah, I couldve just jammed everything in a gatorade bottle I guess, but I like this better. ;)

[Tom]

Yeah, it certainly looks neater.

[Sibbo]

Very nice.

That's a great looking DRZ in the background. ;)

Yeah, I got one of those a while back and had to take it back. They apparently only fit the SMR and a few other models but not the LC4's. My shock was very much in the way and I couldn't find anywhere else to fit it neatly that was below the float bowl.

[devo]

I got the impression the EXC's and SMR's (well basically any of the RFS models) were very similar, so I think I might have been ok with one. All a bit irrelevant now though. :)

[APA]

The Thumpertalk GNCC team is running the coolant tank under the left side panel. They have not had any problems with it there but I'm not sure I like the coolant tank there but the Crank Case Tank with a longer exit tube would be nice in that location.

WRF's has them there as standard equipment for coolant Steve.
Good selection of location for other MX based buildups that are not already supplied.

A little update.......

Everything has been running smoothly. Recently added an information web site www.MufflerSlider.com

The Muffler sliders are really catching on with Road Racers and street bikes. There were some early in line 4 melting problems but that has been solved by the addition of a high temp heat barrier.

This Muffler Slider was low sided at 60-65 MPH The owner said that if he had placed the Slider over the end cap rivets there would have been no damadge at all!

There were some early in line 4 melting problems but that has been solved by the addition of a high temp heat barrier.
I have to post a pic of the slider on the berg, but I have had some melting problems on the inside of the slider with the heat shield.

I think because it does not have enough air flow past it to cool it down compared to the outside. And because it is a stock Berg muffler, not a propper full glass pack, which dont seem to run as hot.

But it is still working perfectly, with only a tiny bit melted, which does not contact the road anyway.

Maybe bergs need two layers of heat wrap??

[APA]

Bergs & KTM's run a lot hotter than the asian models.

The heat barrier is now available in 2 temps. Regular and high temp that is double the thickness.

[Sibbo]

Great.

The pics are being uploaded as I type (but I think I might need to shrink them down a bit, cos it is taking too long).

[Sibbo]

As promised, pics.

Please read the above post by APA, in that new KTM/berg sliders are sold with thicker heat tape to stop the below from happening. Although, my slider is still firmly attached to my muffler, with only the bottom of it affected, which wont hit the ground anyway.

Sibbo, ever heard of washing your bike FFS?
You might go a bit faster too if you take that frigging cork out, jeez.

I have learnt a few things from Neil and bike washing is one of them, it gets washed when it rains.

Its actually a lot cleaner at the moment (well maybe not, cos it was wet on the way home from work today).

And I will pope the berg's cork, when I know she loves me, until then, we are just friends :)

[SMC690]

Hope you don't mind going slops, your Berg and I got initimate in the TT car park when you were busy posing for photo's in your new leathers.
Didn't she tell you? What as hussy.

[Sibbo]

Well you are not that much of a man, a cork can plug what hole you left in the berg's bits! hahahaha

[Muzzard]

Once again fellas, keep it on thread.
Its about Steves APA Catch Bottling Systems remember :roll:

You have my go ahead to delete all my shit above (except for the slider pics).

My setup now uses 2 of Steves bottle systems and as soon as possible will post another picture of them, remounted and fitted to the front of the frame.
My crankcase system also incorporates the K & N filter usually seen on the rocker box of my bike as well ;)

THIS JUST IN.............. Advanced Performance Accessories Muffler Slider has been refined to eliminate the previous measuring and temperature confusion.

A new clamp design now crosses over 2 sizes and eliminated the need for the larger XL size.

The higher temperature heat barrier is now standard in all full sized kits where it was an option.

Wheeling Cycle Supply & Motostrano have been added to our list of fine retailers.



3 Muffler Slider models now available......... Mini, Half and Full.

Mini Muffler Slider Fits the smaller 10-12 inch circumference muffler.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/lumpy790/Muffler%20Slide/minislider.jpg

The Road racer of the R6 above sent back a well tested model. This one was low sided 2 times at 65+ MPH and this is all the wear that the Muffler Slider sustained.

That's a coincidence, I was on your site placing an order last night. :)
Where do I put Australia when it's not listed in the countries to ship to?

[Wobbly]

Stick in 'other' and email steve...

[SlickNCGhia]

what colour juz? green?

[Wobbly]

Pink

[BennyV]

Trick Steve! I've got one of ur exhaust sliders!
I like the white on the CRF for the radiator hoses! Nice!

[SMC690]

Getting boot sliders and an exhaust slider, no coloured pipes for me, not even a pink one. I've got my own pink hose...

[SM93]

my APA gear is great, i have the fuel containment and radiator system. I wouldn't mind the hoses but don't need them.

[APA]

Tell ya what guys.......I received a PM that with the pretty new site they would like some sponsors and one way to do this was to give you guys a discount on orders. Im cool with that. :up: I usually end up paying more for the shipping than I charge you guys so let me look into it and I will figure out what I can offer.....and of course the orders just received I will give the discount too.

SMC690......I am out of the boot sliders. I am planning on getting more but its going to take a few weeks for them to arrive.

[SMC690]

Would you mind shipping the exhaust protector & heat strip for under it early this coming week if possible as I have a ride day next Saturday.
I'm not sure if you have taken the payment out yet as my frigging netbanking and visa payments takes ages to update so I'm not sure if you have processed the order as yet.
I'm kewl with waiting for the boot slider and paying for them with the order I put through yesterday morning.

[APA]

smc690.....sorry for the delay.....I am expecting the sliders in about a week and have held your order till they arrive.

Finally got hoses made for my own bike!!!

[albonator316]

me likie :D

[SMC690]

No problems on the delay Steve, just email me a day before you plan to take the payment out as I keep minimal funds in the visa I used on the interwebs for obvious reasons.

[APA]

The boot sliders are in....total with 15% discount + Australia shipping sent.
