RE: Frame Slider Heartburn
Reminds me of when I did mine...the old school way with a magic marker in the bolt hole.
Someone here posted a method of using a lazer pointer taped to a stand. Pointed it to the
bolt hole, then installed the fairing and Voila, there it is!!!! Seems like the elegant way to
go.

I can understand the concern, too. There isa "silly puddy/play-doh" method that looks pretty good to me. Good luck. Heres the link:

^ I used the play doe method.
If you're meticulous, take it slow, and plan things out, it'll look like the bike came like that stock or done by a pro. So when you're done you'll constantly be admiring your work. [:-]

Probably minor heartburn compared to what you'd feel if your bike gets rashed/frame gets bentand you don't have frame sliders to minimize or eliminate the damage. Drilling frame slider holes is the better of two evils, IMO.

I also used the PlayDoh method and mine fit like this both sides. When taking the panels off they scrape and grab the sliders. Zero gap or slop.
