LighTech Wheel Axle Sliders for Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory 1100: Aesthetic Choice with Practical Considerations

After installing the frame sliders, it was time to choose some protection for the wheel axles, specifically for the front and rear forks of the motorcycle. I considered options from GSG, R&G, and several other manufacturers, but eventually decided on the LighTech wheel axle sliders . From the photos, they didn’t look particularly robust, yet I opted for them primarily for aesthetic reasons. Some protection is still better than none, so I was ready for that compromise.

From Triumph Rocket 3 to Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory: Choosing the Right Bike and Installing Top Block Racing Frame Sliders

After a little more than a year, I began seriously considering selling my Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R. Many will wonder why, since it’s a true motorcycle icon, but the simple answer is, it just wasn’t the right bike for me.

I rode it in a rather sporty way, and while it can handle that despite being a cruiser at heart, it’s ultimately too heavy and its geometry isn’t made for aggressive cornering or fast transitions.
