Question about frame sliders

[AdamDJ]

I've seen a lot of frame sliders for our bike where one side is shorter than the other.. What is the purpose of that? The set I ordered isnt like that, both sliders are the same exact size.. Am I going to run into problems because of this?

Thanks!

Some sliders have a longer one on the left side of the bike because the engine sticks out further on that side. Some manufacturers just like the symmetry, I guess. My T-Rex sliders have a longer one on the left/clutch side. As long as the sliders are 4 or 5 inches long, it should be OK. It's just different strokes for different folks (slider manufacturers).
