Shoot mine look that good and I just put the sliders on and then put the plastics on and eyed up the location and went for it.

I also used the play-dough method - actually used plumbers puddy but same idea. Followed those exact directions and it came out perfect on both sides. Just make sure you use the proper hole saw for your exact sliders for a better fit. Low sided my f4i 5 days after finally installing the sliders and they saved my bike from a ton of rash.

Any ideas on how to fill the small gap around the sliders? Mine is abt 2mm thick all around the sliders.

I would get that stuff that people use to put on the edge of a car door to protect it if you were to bump another car in black and use that or some people have used some type of gasket from Ace Hardware that looked like it worked pretty nice.

You could probably get some sort of rubber gasket but I wouldnt worry about it.

You could also get some of the black mesh stuff like is used for window screens and just cut a hole to the exact dimensions of your slider and this could give you the illusion that the gap is filled....I dont know about this idea, just thought of it and have never done it but I would imagine it would work.

Buy a grommet thats your best bet. Will be tight against the fairings and smooth around the pucks

is it normal that right slider base rest on nut, not on frame like left one? and there is a gap (~5 mm) between slider base and frame :/

Thats right. The right one will, thus, stick out farther than the left. Then you know if you did it right or not. Looks good by the way.
