So here is our goal.. some nice smooth looking sliders to protect the main side fairings.
My installation went pretty good. I spend some good quality time on this because the supplied instructions were absolute S#*T. Here is the breakdown:
- Lay out hardware, check that everything is there
- Strip off sidepanels then bellypan
- Find a means to support the engine for when swapping out the factory engine bolts for the longer supplied bolts for the mounts
- Go ahead and install the mounts like in my pictures.. trust me I got it right after some fiddling around, thank me later
- Drill 1/4 hole to locate where the slider mount is behind each side panel
- Use a high speed air tool or electric with a bit to carefully enlarge the hold in order to center the hold for the stem of the plastic slider
- I hope you have a bike stand or some comfortable knee pads before you even begin this operation!
- Torque settings? Pretty TIGHT but not too tight. Your a fool if you think pros measure torque settings on anything but engine or shock internals.
