In case anyone is about to attempt this I took the "play-doh" method approach and mine are DEAD on PERFECT. I am sure the laser way works just as well but for those that dont have the tools to use the laser the play-doh method works great. I could have done either one but it seemed to me that the play-doh would be just as spot on and it was. Just a FYI for everyone out there.

 

What exactly did you do? Just shove play-dough in the bolt hole, attach the fairing, and the play-dough stuck where you should drill? I need to do my sliders soon before I paint my fairings, and would love to know how to do it without the laser nonsense.

 

I also used the Play-Doh method. The guys at
the dealership asked how I got them so spot on
when they were doing the 600mi service on Tuesday.

There's a link to a tutorial somewhere on here.

 

When I did mine, I put the bolts on, but not the slider, then I put the fairing on. The bolt made a mark on the foam backing of the fairing, and I drilled there. It was not 100% perfect, but it was 99% perfect.

 

Here is the link I followed - www.rc51.org/slider.htm

 

I tried the link but I cant seem to get it to work. Please explain the play- doh method because the laser method seems time consuming and a pain in the ***.

 

Copy and Paste the link. I dont know why it isnt working but if you copy and paste it will.

 

I did the same as kroberts and got it perfect. Had to trim a bit cuz 1 3/4wasnt big enough or wtv size i used. I have a 1mm gap all the way around the puck.

 

There was a space at the end of his link. Fixed: http://www.rc51.org/slider.htm
