not yet, but what im wondering about is if the right side is installed correctly. i've installed it making sure the bolt goes in straight and there is a nut inside the frame that prevents the base of the frame slider to go in any further. i would like to see a picture of one installed.

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.
What I recall is that it won't sit flush to the frame, it just needs to fit in the frame hole and bottom out, one side is longer( thinking its the left side) and one base is larger... I work at a bike shop and I did the same thing when I ordered mine...I thought they came in pairs...they dont!!! You would think a "kit" would include everything!!!!
My bad it's the right side that is longer!!!
