Default T-Rex no cut sliders

I just got them in the mail yesterday. I ordered them for my 04' f4i and it says they fit all the way to 05' styles. I got the left side on with a little work, but the fit of the bracket on the right side just wasant right. There were no instructions of an install, and after 3 hours of laying under the bike i gave in... The bracket was just not machined right. I grinded the back side of it off to squeeze it between the block and the frame. After grinding and hammering i got everythin in place, tightened everything up and threw the fairings back on. After the struggle of TERRIBLE directions, ( the direction for installing the bracket was... "#5. install the bracket") i was pleased with the final result.

They look pretty good, and will hopefully protect it from a tiny fall. shipping from t-rex was fast and the product looks good , so overall i would give them a 8.5 out of 10

No cuts are a no go u will end up hurting ur bike more than helping it and potentially ruining it

I'd save your judgement for when they are actually tested. No-cuts are crap.

i dont care what you guys think or say. Im just reviewing their product. If it works it works. if it doesn't it doesn't. Im just making an attempt at protecting my bike without cutting the fairings. You dont know if my bike will fall, or how hard. So once again I dont care what you guys think about no cuts, at least im trying.

Its not just me (obviously) im pretty sure almost every single person has agreed on this topic.....

Were not trying to be @$$E$ were just trying to save ur @$$.... as well as money.....your doing something to your bike to help protect it if it goes down.... but with what you have installed you actually are more likely to break something if your bike goes down.... thats all were trying to say.... but if u want to be a ignorant little ***** and not take everyone elses advice thats fine but we warned u

as for the 1,000,000 reviews already out there

And as for this review itself
