RE: Hey Everyone
Thanks for the advice on the vortex doncollins. Seems to be the most reffered ones that I've come across. Ordered them today in fact. You are right about putting them on while the bike is already in the shop. Buddy said hed throw them on for me no extra charge!!! Woohoo!!! Anyway, thanks for the advice again.

1. make sure you buy frame sliders, not the "no-cut" frame sliders. Those will only help from a non-moving drop. If you crash, they usually bend out of the way and add to the damage.
2.You have basically two methods of installing them. Use a puddy on the inside of the fairing with the bolt sticking out to mark the location or a laser method. You can set a laser up beside the bike, aim at the bolt head and put the fairing back on. Mark the fairing then remove it. If the laser is still lined up, you're good to go.

2. Very good Idea. Never thought about that.
