My slider of choice as well.

Since I have a trend of concluding all of my threads I figured I should keep it up. That way any other newbies can see my complete path from question to satisfied product or unsatisfied etc etc.

Instructions were pretty clear. I think any hesitation I had to install them was because I wasn't ready to man up and cut 2 inch holes in each side of the bike. I went with cut sliders because no only were they cheaper, but they seem more logical as a choice for frame protection. I spent about 13 bucks to get the 2 inch cutter I needed and didn't have much trouble cutting the fairing properly.

I did have the old fairing to practice on however. The right side is the easiest on my bike because the engine mount bolt is already visible, but the left side requires a hole to be drilled in order to find the mounting bolt on that side. Wasn't anything too hard, just nerve racking because I didn't have a messed up left side to practice on.

I also did the project in the driveway after dark with mosquitoes. It was miserable but I think it still turned out pretty well.

And some day light photos for comparison.

nice! looks good bro! I'll be doing the same in September. but I've gotta replace both fairings also, so I'll have a practice one for each side

Thanks! I am probably going to do a write up on how I did mine which could serve for many new members for a long time to come. If I take the time to put some black touch up paint around the hole on each fairing, I think I could rid of the small white line that is barely visible. Its a minor thing though.

Mr Lefty · 04-27-2008, 04:46 PM

yeah I would... my fairings are a dark blue... but I'll just use some black paint to get rid of the white.

Looking good quick.

Woodcraft >> vortex. Many many people will vouch for this. Sliders, rearsets, the works. Woodcraft is the shit. I have woodcraft clipons on my r6.

Woodcraft was kind and smart enough to give me one of their catalogs with my order. I will definitely be adding more of their parts as funds allow.
