Ask this salesman how much the fairings will decrease in value if the no-cut sliders break in a hard crash and the fairing is damaged. If the holes are made correctly (laser pointer method, etc.) and you use a sharp hole saw and put painter's tape over the fairing before cutting and take your time it will look like it came that way from the factory.

I have Woodcraft frame sliders. I drilled and installed mine before I ever rode it for the first time. It turned out nice.

 

Exactly, I agree. I watched a youtube video of a guy installing cut sliders on a 07' 1000rr. He did a great job of showing the step by step process to install them correctly. I realized that you really dont have to cut much of you fairing anyways, and if its done correctly it looks really good. So I've definitely made my mind up. CUTS are the ONLY WAY to go.

 

Here is a link of how to install them, this is an RR but you get the point.

Thanks for the links Stephens, they will definitely be helpful. I also found this link:

Maybe it will help someone else out in the future, the only thing different I would do is use the laserpointer I think. Hopefully it will turn out fine. Thanks again for all the advice guys.

 

i bought no cuts for my bike. In one season i rested my leg up on the slider and by the end of the season. I seen it was lose and i literally snapped the support bracket for the no cut slider in half with my hand with no effort. They are all junk. Drill the hole and buy a real frame slider.

 

i have drill slides and went down afew weeks ago hard and it bent alittle but saved everything else i didnt even make a mark on my mirror or bar ends

 

+1 for cut sliders

 

agreed. +1 for CUT frame sliders.

 

as if you haven't already heard from others, I wouldn't recomend the no cut sliders. when I went down recently, it was hard enogh to move the bracket and the slider broke my fairing in that area.

 

Also have to keep in mind, Framesliders arent designed to protect the fairings, just happens they do to a point in alot of cases
