where did you get the ruuber bushing or gromets? Do you have a part number of some sort?

 

Just remember you DO NOT want the siders tight against the fairings. You also do not want to use any hard grommets. If you drop it hard the sliders are going to flex and they will end up busting your fairings anyway.

The rubber tub seal ting may be OK, but I have never really worried about it. I used a 2" saw and never looke back. You can see how mine came out here:

 

ok prolly a stupid question but arent frame sliders meant to protect the frame not the plastics???

 

If your frame slider is a bit off-centre, here is the rubber gasket you need to make it look better. You just slide it on the puck., no glueing necessary. I pick this up at Home Depot as stated by someone above. The manufacturer & part # are on the packaging. Hope this help.

Here is my Vortex Frame Slider with this gasket. I drill my hole at 2" diameter. It actually don't look bad.

 

also here is the Flushmount I bought from eBay.

 

Yea, but it really sucks to have your sliders CAUSE damage that they could have prevented.

 

Here's mine with the gaskets...
kinda bad pic

 

Thanks for the pics. I'm going to look into those gaskets, they make it look sharp!
