RE: Bought new Frame Sliders
just take the fairing off and take out the bolt that slider goes in put the new longer bolt in the hole about 2-3 threads put the fairing back on and just press against where the bolt is it will leave a mark on the inside of the fairing take a drill and drill right in the middle of the mark than put on a hole saw that just clears the slider and drill right threw it from the out side of the fairing and you have one straight hole that is the right size, did mine and they came out perfect.

The laser method is easy... just remove the plastics and prop up a laser level, not just a pointer, on the head of the engine mount bolt. Make sure the laser is level with the bike. Now that you have the red dot on the bolt, put your plastic back on and mark the red dot. Important part. Take the plastic back off and make sure the dot is still in the right place. If it is, you just verified that the hole will be right. Like I said before, measure your sliders/pucks... I read 2" every where and never thought to check. With my Vortex sliders, 1 3/4" would have fit better. PM or ask if you have any more questions... this is an easy mod to do but you don't get any second chances on it.
