Click on the link I gave you a few posts back. They're expensive but still less than ½ the cost of just one messed up fairing. They can also be removed or transfered to a future Busa and you're not left with gaping holes in your fairings.
Another frame slider gone bad

I was a bit fearful of the mishap when I read on your first post that the dealership was installing frame sliders. Most dealerships have never installed sliders on a busa. Most people don't ever install sliders on the busa. Although it's a tough one, the bright side is, it's only a grand for new lowers and your are back in business. Or, if you you have not taken the bike from the dealership, tell them to keep that one on the floor and give you another one?
The instructions are generic and the upper engine mounting bolt would be correct in most cases. However, as we all know, it's not the correct position for the busa. Sorry about your troubles. Just chock it up to a thousand dollar mistake. I wouldn't leave it like that, it looks like dung!
Good Luck with the dealership!

I've been in contact with the company that makes these sliders. And the instructions they gave me were completly different. They just say motor mounts. Anywho I've emailed them pics from here and asked if this was the correct location of the slider. Hopefully they agree and I should be home free with the dealership. And yes it does look like dung!!
Actually, does anyone here have the Pro-tek delrin frame sliders on thier busa? If so I'd like to have pics of it!! I should just have everyone email the dealership with pics of thier frame sliders and ask if they are right and everyone else in the world is wrong?

I'm telling you, just because they can't read, understand, and produce what the directions say... doesn't mean you should pay!
I mean, didn't the guy step back before cutting the fairings and say, "That can't be right. If this were my bike, I wouldn't do that. Maybe I should call the owner"? Poor worksmanship and poor customer service are no excuse for it coming out of your pocket brutha!

Post up their e-mail address and we'll blow up their mail box with good pics of where they should go.
Gst--I really feel for you, man. I'll bet that even if you gave them the right location, they may not have done a proper job--just check the threads on this site, and you'll see how precise the measurements have to be. If I were you, I'd demand that they replace the panels and keep the sliders (call American Suzuki if needed). And then find a Busa owner who has installed their own sliders, and give them a few bucks to help you.
I will post the email address if they try and say they did nothing wrong the next time we talk. I'm busy with work and will contact them in the next day or so to try and resolve the problem. Thank again all!
True very .........ing true......... I mean its mounted on that top frame rail. Looks like the fairing would hit the ground before the sliders would too.
PS A good, permanent post for the site would be to mark a "correct" installation procedure (with pics), so that users could print it out and take it to whomever as instructions.
Thats a damn fine idea. There too much of this stupidity going around.
I'm in Crawfordsville... about 45 west of Indy. I'll check and see how far it is. The stealership is in Peru, IN.
hey man i really feel your pain...
luckily my dealer were fine with fixing their mistake.
if i can help in anyway let me know buddy.
i can give you my dealer info and maybe you can have your dealer contact them and see that they did do it wrong.
good luck!
They should run very close to the fairing fastener....
If it was warmer out I'd ride down there and go into the dealer with you. I'd bring in a padded "Special Ed" helmet and tell the owner it's a gift for the moron that installed those sliders.
Any pics of the install yet or do they still have the bike?

Heck no, I didn't want to leave her there with those morons.
I will take some pics of her though. I need to adjust the HMF highmounts the cans look a little cocked to me. Anyway I will take pics of my poor Veronica..
