I went down to wal mart tonight and go a little tripod (not tall enough for the frame slider install but still cool) and the laser level for $17. They were in the tools and came in one package. I bought that one because I can screw the laser level onto my camera tripod and do it like that. I'll try to find it on their website but its going to work perfectly, but if it doesn't its a blast messing with my cat and dogs with the little red dot on the floor LOL they will chase that dot forever trying to catch it.

 

totally inspired me too (been putting off too long):

1) is vortex the best?

2) where did you get?

3) how much?

thanks

 

I got mine from ronayers.com. The come in two pieces. The spindles come as one piece and then the actual pucks come individually. The benefit of this is that if you scratch up a puck you can just replace it without having to replace the entire slider. The pucks were like $13 each + $25 for the spindles. It was about $50 for the whole sha-bangy bang.

The laser is really convenient because it makes such a small, pin point light. Any by the way, the laser level I used in this endeavor was a $30 Black and Decker that I'd used a hundred times to hang pictures, etc. Its nothing special. The fact that it has a magnetic base just made it really convenient. If you don't want/have a tripod just put the laser on a stack of boxes are something. It really doesn't matter, just as long as it doesn't move.

At any rate, if you don't want to use a laser then don't. I haven't needed silly puddy for anything for a while, but my laser level comes in handy all the time.

Is it just me or does useing the laser seem easier? I have all that stuff at home, the only thing I would need to buy is the drill and the bit. I will have no problems talking my husband into getting new tools, THANKS!

 

I am sure it would be easy. I really didn't have that hard of a time with the 2.00 tool I bought from

Just my 2 cents.

 

What does this $2 tool looklike and what does it do? I went to the link you provided and did not see a picture of it.

 

I don't have a picture of the tool handy but it basically fits into the head of the bolt and has a point on it. When you put it on then put you fairing back on. You apply pressure and the point pierces the fairing so you know the center point. Nothing fancy.

If you would like to see the tool I will take a picture of it and post it if you like (Would be later this evening or tomorrow). I would probably still go this route because I don't have a rear stand to position my bike the same way twice.

 

Your description of the tool is plenty. No need to take a pic. Thanks though. Sounds pretty simple.

 

I kind of know what you mean, but if you have a pic of it I'd really appreciate it. I was going to make something like it ,but they don't have any pictures of it on their website and its $5 now and I think I can make it for about $0.03 LOL. Thanks in advance
