OK, now I have some (gay) leathers, I can put the Motorax tear dropped titanium rodded knee sliders on. But which way around do they go?

Would they curve so the apex of the curve faces forwards or backwards? (presumably with the thick bit of the tear-drop on the top)

I would have gone for normal ones, but Mum bought them as a christmas present. Thumbs Up

Cheers,

Luke

Yeah, thick bit of the top, an upsidedown tear drop as it were.

Not that it really matters, as long as it touches the floor before your leathers it's all good.

Yeah, thick bit at the top, but which side? The apex of curve can either point forwards or backwards.

Fuck it, the only reason I'm worried is so I don't look a total nob-jocky, with the sliders on the wrong way. But I look like one anyway in luminous orange leather.

my tear drops have a "L" and a "R" on them to work out which leg they go on, and the point of the tear should point down your leg.

Same here L, and R marked on them is a right giveaway!
