It won't.

I've had 6 customers lose theirs. Not just Tye. It's my winning choice of useless products right up there next to the reason why people buy FRAMEsliders.
Ok, maybe I didn't get that hot. But I've definitely had it in 100+ temps.

My slipon for the 748 was $1k. The full system for the 998 was $2.5K But, certainly not anywhere near pointless....

Holy hell, 147?! My lap timer registered 108 for my last track day and I was struggling to keep sweat from running into my eyes. I can't imagine another 39 degrees.

And THANK YOU for the frame slider comment. I swear everyone thinks they're plastic savers.

It got so hot here that one time, I was sweating so much inside my helmet my breathe was blowing my sweat beads onto my visor and I thought it was rain!

That was actually before it was warmer and I lost my grip pads.


You know it's hot when the gas tank is actually making noise from pressure buildup from heat sitting in the sun.

I haven't bought anything pointless yet, because I haven't bought anything for it.

Everything I use - spools for the rear stand, magnetic tank patch thingy that hubby has now.

I want an exhaust... but I can't afford it. I can't afford much right now.
