Frame Sliders

[Rider4Life]

Frame sliders were the first thing I put on my 04 busa. I didnt have a problem drilling the holes, after al they were chrome and they looked badass. To bad they didnt do a damn thing when i wrecked, just folded over. Thats why my busa has a cage on her now. I guess the slider wasnt meant for 50 mph wrecks or they just did suck

I have never been so aggravated searching for parts online. I'd like to buy a frame slider but parts411 sight has the most f’d up search tool in the entire history of the Internet. Can someone give me the part number for the carbon inlayed Lockhart slider? Preferably before I have a heart attach. Oh and FYI links to item listings on parts411 above don’t work for me.

<span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>WOW you guys are making this tuff.</span>

Laser method is dead on perfect for hole alignment. Precut a piece of plastic or wood to get a feel for your cutting technique and fittings...

Ref the trim.

If ya goto a lowes or home depot BEFORE you cut the holes.

You can get <span style='font-size:13pt;line-height:100%'>FURNITURE "GROMMETS"</span>you know the holes in your computer desk that the wires go thru....

It's a round "O-RING" made of plastic. Scuff and paint to match bike. Cut hole epoxy painted grommet into place mount slider and go.

<span style='font-size:13pt;line-height:100%'>Rubber pipe grommets</span> work very well also. Tuff to paint but can ACTUALLY touch the slider and not vibrate

RUBBER GROMMET LINK. YOU CAN ORDER EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED. THICKNESS OF PLASTIC, SIZE OF HOLE, ETC. FREE SAMPLES TOO IF YOU ASK RIGHT!

GEESH!

After doing this I must agree, with Iceman, if you have rear stand and a laser pointer do it that way! Thanks for the photo of the grommets another good idea.

I like the putty method I saw somewhere... use play dough on the inside of the fairing, mount and unmount the fairing and.... instant hole marks.

hey. do i need the rear stand to do this? i have a jack stand and as long as the bike is somewhat level, i should be able to do this?
thanks

As long as the bike does not move and is level your good to go.
