We’ve been getting a lot of cool products from SME this last week. First up are a pair of sliders that replace the chain adjusting brackets on the the swing arm of the Street Triple. They are very well machined pieces of aluminum to reduce the potential of swingarm damage in case of accidents on the track or the streets.

Depending on how much experience you have in taking off your rear wheel, I would be surprised if the installation would take more than 10 minutes, tops. It might be easier to work with a spare set of hands to keep the brake calipers in line, when reassembling the rear wheel components, but for a steady hand, it’s not mandatory. All it takes is a big enough torque wrench and a bike stand to make the swap. The SME brackets slide into place with precision and look quite sharp by adding a little flair to the rear. Be sure to adjust your chain back to spec once you’ve got everything in place. And keep that rear nut clamped down before speeding off for the day. Browsing through SME‘s catalog, you’ll find components that cover most popular bike makes, including some older models like my KTM Duke, which is a totally biased bonus on my part.

An easy installation that will save your bike for a small investment is always a wise purchase. It’s nice to see a manufacturer that can do it without sacrificing the good looks of your bike.
