I used a tool from

it was 2 plus 5 to ship. It works great as long as you put your fairing back on before applying pressure to the tool...

 

save your money on playdoh and just use gum.

 

Yeah I was just thinking about that, I've got some sticky tack around the house some where I'll just use that.

 

I used the no cut frame sliders on my 1000 but I used sheer bolts on the bolts that actually hold the sliders to the bracket. This way if I have a real hard crash the frame slider bolts will break instead of breaking/bending the frame. I am told it is also bettter because the frame sliders break off before it causes the bike to tumble causing more damage.

 

yo womang...sticky tack don't taste bubblicious like gum does!

so they will very likely break away on impact...and then no more slider...so what would be protecting the frame then? oh yes...the fairing..but after that's gone?
on my lowside...my slider almost everything, it was so grounded down but did it's job! if it was just the fairing, then i think it would've gone all the way through and started it's work on the frame.

 

You're right! plus sticky tack doesn't come in cherry. mmmmmm..... cherrrrrry
