Not trying to start anything but be careful with those sliders. I dont have experience but if you didnt cut your fairings and bolt them straight to a motor mount i have heard they can be more bad than good other than that its looking good

Seriously.. those arent frame sliders.. those are fairing bolts with a big washer on them.. ditch them... they will do more harm than good. Get some good sliders from TRex, Woodcraft, or Vortex. Make sure they are the ones that you have to cut the fairings for.. the "no cuts" are better than what you have (useless) but still not anywhere near as good as the "cut" ones...

Best of luck

thanks for the heads up but i got them bc the original ones were **** and i needed some to put there instead of a flimzy fairing and i ordered actual frame sliders but they are on back order so i bought these well my buddy bought these and my bar sliders to be a substitute but hey any info is good info thanks but yea this is my first bike no ones perfect lol

i can tear down and rebuild a motor with my eyes closed but when it comes to accessories i have no clue all i want and need is 2 wheels a motor and my ipod everything else is irrelevant

but honestly thanks for your 2 cents its well appreciated

Your "boy" doesn't know what he's talking about. If those tires have been sitting since '06, they aren't good.

Otherwise, enjoying seeing you bring the ole F4i back to life. Keep up the good work.
