On what type of riding for what type of slider... What is regular street riding. The pic that I put up was from me just riding back to the highway after hittin the twisties. Then one small deer makes a high side and that was the end result. My point is that you must protect it at "air force level" even if you are just "bar hopping" street riding. As I said... that was about a 40mph high side!

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. ![]()
