Well I just got the bike 3 weeks ago. Being my first bike I knew frame sliders were a must. I bought a set of previously installed vortex's off ebay for 25 plus 8 shipping. Pretty good deal I think. I already had the tools needed except for the torque wrench which I got from Craigslist for 25 bucks (new Craftsman). I used the laser pointer method and it could not have been easier. Now I have a little bigger piece of mind. I appreciate the idea that was posted here on the forum.

Ok guys. After the failure of the T-Rex no-cuts that I had on my f4i and damaged my engine, I've bought the vortex frame sliders. I got the bases with bolts but the pucks did not come with the mounting bolt, which is crap (im contacting vortex about this), but I've got a question about something else. Today, I've installed the bases and the left side is nice and flushed while the right side looks a bit odd. Check out the pics and let me know if I did it right. The first 3 pics are of the right side. The last one is on the left side. Is that how you had your right side, paige? Also, where did you get that grommet at iMac? it looks neat.
