Default Frame Slider Heartburn

Is it just me or does everyone have troubles putting holes in their new bike?

Depends on how important the frame and (in a few cases the fairings) are to you.

I understand it is just one of those things.... I hate to do something like put a hole in the fairing but i would hate to drop it and not have em more. It just dosent sit right to drill into a brand new bike like that!!

A well drilled hole is better than the alternative.

Still the fact ur putting a whole in a brand new 06 takes alot to over come. I got some on order and im letting a friend do it for me. Rather see the finished result then me messing it up. Plus he has a bike shop.

I was worried about it too, but it really isn't any big deal. Just be careful, and take your time.
