I ordered mine directly from (Delkevic Website. I had mine specially painted (Had a couple of graphics removed), and they got to me within 2 weeks of ordering them. The checkout is through "google checkout." Most people already have a gmail account, so that should be pretty easy to deal with.

I'm sure you caught it from reading our previous posts on this thread, but you'll need to get the heat shielding separately. I suggest following R DUB's example by getting the OEM mat. You'll end up spending $80 to $90 on them, but you saved a good bit on the fairings (R DUB may have a cheaper source).

Anyone have any idea of what frame sliders mount in Delkevic's pre-drilled holes?

I used Vortex sliders. They mount just fine

So I realized I never posted in this thread how the bike turned out after paint and all that. So here are some pics. Also I have had them on for a full season using OEM foam heat shields and have no issues what so ever.

Thanks buddy. No I didn't. A family friend knows a guy who owns a auto paint shop so he did. It's GM colors. He wet sanded and buffed everything really nice so the colors have a deep shine to them. Cost me $450 for the paint job which is a steal. I was in the paint booth as he was painting. It was cool to see everything transform right before your eyes.

I have a buddy who's brother works in an auto body shop, i'm going to hand him my bike and have him repair the cracks and wholes in my bike, and then paint those spots. I'm starting to think it might be a good idea to just buy a new set. What'd you do with your old ones? haha
