you could call hi-performance engineering, they could tell you about hiperfax.1-218-681-2390.
 
You have to run Hyperfax on all steel clips. Don't try to run them on closed window tracks, or tracks without clips.
 
The company is just north of me, I used to rent an apt from him, nice guy but his product just wont last. I got around 7-800 mls on mine when they burned through and seperated. fully clipped track on an srx They wouldn't replace them and told me that I would have to run polaris wheels for them to last on a yamaha.
If you want to call him, his name is paul cyr and he lives on the fort rd in presque isle maine. Good luck. He must be in his mid to late 60s by now.

someone told me once there was a company in canada that would machine complete slides out of the same material, anyone know about this???
 
he was getting them made by sno stuff they can not sell the same slide but you can get a slide made out teflon the whole slide i have been using them since 1993 when i got my vmax 4 the rep came in and gave 4 of them they work great if you guys would put the slides that came on the 92-96 vmaxs you would not be burnig all your slides up because if you use these they are not as thick and the wheels are tall enought to keep the track off the slides. the dealer i use to work at we have been doing this since the RX1
 
I Just bought a used set of hiperfax for 30$, they have at least 3/4 of the meat left on them, I hope I don't run into these problems. I have seen the teflon break on an XP as well. Are there any tips in making these last, my track is fully clipped. Should the track tension be tighter or looser with these? I am thinking it should be a bit tighter so the track doesn't really flex and slap the slides when they come around the bend.
 
the way to make them work is run alot of large wheels so they never touch, then they work perfect.
 
The teflon insert is pretty thin. I don't see them working on a trail sled too well. It is only around 1/8-3/16 thick. I used them with great sucess on the drag and speed sleds with no wheels. They still will wear but wont drag as bad in that application without slide lubers. I would stick with OEM sliders for trail use.
 
I used them on my 1994 Mach Z with a M-10 and had no problems. If I remeber right they lasted over 2000 miles on the trail with the track really loose. I'm surprised to here this but then again that was 15 years ago.
