Title: Made Some basic DIY crash protection for my SR/F
Post by: Hans2183 on October 28, 2019, 01:35:44 PM

Since aftermarket stuff is still very limited I created some crash protection myself using skate board wheels on the axles.

Some pictures :

Parts needed :

• Skateboard wheels (check eBay)
• threaded rod M8 in size (inox or at least galvanized)
• some M8 washers and nuts
• rubber hose that fits around the rod and inside the axle. I used 12mm outer, 8mm inner size

I also have this video but it's in my own language (Dutch). It also shows some sliders on the frame but not sure yet if that is a good idea since there is no weak point on these for impact other than the existing lugs on the frame...

Nice. Mind if I include the pictures on the unofficial manual?

Very nice. I’m seriously considering your concept for my SR/f
