Default So Sato-Racing set it right

I bought a Sato Racing fork/axle slider that was supposed to be for my bike, 2007 GSXR600 and when I put them on
I was like After sending/showing pictures to the place I bought it from, he said he did some research on it
and that's how it is supposed to be, ----> on MY bike

After reading that I said to myself, like hell it is, it looks like a BMX Peg on my bike and offers NO protection
at all. If I were to low side, it will just rip off. So I decided to take pictures with the fork sliders on my bike
2007 GSXR600 and then with them on my wifes old bike 2002 GSXR750 and send them to Sato Racing.

A Richard told me judging from the pictures to tell the store where I go it from to, well, basically pull his head
out of his ass. He asked if I email the place pictures and I told him yes. His next statement was.. well if he don't
get you the required/correct sliders, to send them to him and he will send me the correct kind himself.

Here are the pictures I sent Sato...

Sliders on the 2002 GSXR750




Sliders on my 2007 GSXR600




Oh, and if picture 2 doesn't help you any, I got the fix for that!!!!

Same bike, better picture 2007 GSXR600




But if you look at picture #2 that is on tight. When I put it on tight, the slider slides
off the axle bolt some!!! In order to keep that from happening, I got to loosen it up
some. Now when I loosen it enough to keep the slider in the center of the axle bolt
and then tighten it right before it will slide off..

a) it rattles around
b) the vibration will cause it to slip off the axle bolt
c) the entire slider will come loose off the rod and come off the bike.
