they do make them, but they shouldnt.

take it from those of us that have experienced it. the no cut are crap. you will end up trashing your fairings anyways with the no cuts.

I was reading earlier about using playdo on the inside of the fairing, then pressing it back into place so you know where to drill the hole and cut. Use tape on the inside and outside, on the fairing, so you don't burn the plastic.

masking tape. It helps not to chip the paint while drilling. I didnt use no tape n mine came out great.

I used masking tape and short bursts with the drill. The tape helps make the cut cleaner. I also used the play-doh method. My Frame Sliders are tiz-ight.
