The CUT OUT
Click on the picture for a close up shot.

Cycle Slider features a side rail cutout that allows the front tire to pivot to its natural position while on the side stand. This cutout eliminates the possibility of side pressure on the tire sidewall, as well as eliminating any twisting or binding that would otherwise occur without the cutout. Because of the natural position, your motorcycle is just as stable on the Cycle Slider as it is when it is parked on the floor.
