Was a crappy day today so I decided to put on my Woodcraft Sliders. Wasn't as bad as I thought, all said and done about 2 hours start to finish (with cleanup). Made the hole a little bigger because I plan to line the opening to give it a more finished edge.

Nice job! Looks good.

 

i have short sliders on too. i dropped my bike but it was on the grass and the frame slider saved it oh yea!

 

Very nice! Have been contemplating doing this myself. What did you use to cut the holes if I may ask? They look great.

 

^^ I'm guessing a hole saw. I used a hole saw and it came out just as nice. Cut slow, and tape it up.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Ditto.

I like the red, Inknsteel.

 

1-3/4 hole saw is the perfect size.

 

Thanks all!

And yes, I tapped it up with blue painters tape, went in reverse to score it a little then forward. Hole is really clean but I think the grommet would just give it a nice edging.

Also I didn't use the laser level technique. I put on the slider base without the puck, put the fairing back in place and screwed in the screw closest to the slider, gave it a few pushes, took off the fairing and it left a perfect indentation in the foam of the slider.

 

I used a 2 1/8" for mine. You got woodcraft sliders gotcbr? The 2" that they recommend looked small thats why I went a little bigger, plus gives me some room for the fuel line grommet.
