Axle, footpeg, bar end sliders

Howdy folks,

I've looked everywhere, and can't seem to find anyone that makes any sliders for the CRF110. My biggest issue really is the axle sliders. Since the axles for this bike are not hollow, I can't just buy a kit for another bike and just make it work, nor can I just buy a threaded rod and make my own. Has anyone seen a slider kit for this bike, or has been able to make up a set of their own? The stock axle also isn't long enough to be used as the mount for the sliders.
The only idea so far that will work is to buy a internally threaded rod that will span the distance from fork to fork and put a bolt through a slider puck to fasten it to what would be the new axle. I'm looking for an alternative to that, as this idea will run me about $200+ just to see if it'll work. The threaded rod is $157 all on its own (made to order at mcmaster-carr).

Would a normal (externally) threaded rod work as an axle? I figured it for sure needed to be smooth in the middle to allow for better rotation of the wheel.

Does anyone have any ideas?

If you have (or have access to) a drill press and a lathe, why not make your own?
Drill and tap a 6mm hole in the axle ends, and turn down a 2" piece of nylon round stock on the lathe.
Drill a 6mm hole through the center, use a long allen head bolt and a couple of washers, and add a 6mm nut to jam against the axle end.
Below is a pair of bar end sliders I made about 10 years ago.

Those are short pieces of fuel line with a flat washer on the end and a serrated flange nut. You snug the allen head bolt up enough for the nut to catch, insert it into the bar ends, and then tighten the bolt up, drawing the nut down and expanding the fuel line inside the handlebar.

I don't understand how those mount to the axle. I'm dumb.

This is what I ended up doing. I got the axle from TBolt that I linked before, then bought two Milwaukee hole saws and fitted Woodcraft slider pucks on them. All I had to do was drill two holes across the hole saw bits. Pics below.
Also ended up using the off the shelf kit from woodcraft for the bar ends. They weren't expensive at all so I just went with that since they're replaceable and whatnot.

Now I need to figure out something for the footpegs. I havent found any kits searching online for the stock footpegs, so it seems I might have to order aftermarket pegs. I tried playing around with U-Bolts and whatnot to try and make something work but nothing really came together for me since the stock pegs are hollow inside with no grid/holes to mount anything to.

I havent searched the forum yet, but does anyone know of an aftermarket peg that fits onto these bikes?

-edit-
there seem to be many options out there for aftermarket pegs. I would love to figure something out for the stock ones, though.

how about a piece of flat stock steel to fit down inside the opening, with two holes drilled in it, then cut a piece of a Dollar Store cutting board and countersink two holes to fasten it to the flat stock from the bottom. Cutting the cutting board a half-inch wider than the footpeg shape all around would allow the bolts to draw it up tight. If the need be, tack weld the flat stock to the peg to secure it.
The bolt ends and the nut would be recessed inside the footpeg.

I didnt think those would work because the teeth on the stock pegs aren't that deep.

So this is what I ended up doing. I got a piece of metal welded on both sides, drilled a hole, and attached some skateboard wheels. 4 pack of wheels for 20 bucks, and those can be flipped after a crash so we're talking essentially an 8 pack of wheels for less than the sliders linked above, for example.
Here are some pics:

I intend on cutting the excess metal around the pegs at some point, but I think its good for right now. I tested them out and the plastic hits the ground well before any metal would. The peg folds up too so its not like its going to wear away and have metal touching the ground at any point.
Thanks, everyone, for your help/suggestions.
