Ok, I installed the sliders this evening and I got to say… it was simpler than I thought. I used every piece that was provided in the kit. I really like the quality of the material too. If you decide you want to save a little money, give this kit a try and use my instructions for install as a guide.


You will need the following tools to perform this job:
- Floor jack
- Short piece of 2x4
- Allen wrenches (Metric)
- Socket set w/ratchet (Both metric & standard sizes)
- Wrench set (Both metric & standard sizes)
- Heavy duty curved pick
- Lock tight (Red)
- Torque wrench


Use the picture of the parts with the A-I diagram:
A – Sliders
B – Slider socket bolts
C – Internal spacers for the sliders (these are inserted into the slider tubes)
D – Slider bushing (left side of bike)
E – Bolts to secure frame slider mounts
F – Sleeved nuts for frame slider mount bolts
G – Frame slider mount (right side of bike)
H – Frame slider mount bushing (right side of bike)
I – Frame slider mount (left side of bike)


Remove your side fairings, exposing the entire engine and radiator. Use the floor jack and 2x4 to support the weight of the engine as seen on picture #1. Remove the factory engine mount bolt & nut that is located above the exhaust headers. Find the longer frame slider mount bolt (E) and slide it into G, with H on lastly (Note: I like to use lock tight “Red” on these parts). This will be inserted into the right side of the bike. Use one of the sleeved nuts (F) to fasten the bolt to the bike as pictured in picture #2 (Note: you will want to use the curved pick to hold the sleeved nut in place, otherwise the sleeved nut will spin freely). The frame slider mount should look like picture #3 (Note: The mount should hug the bottom of the last cooling fin on the cylinder head). Use the shorter frame slider mount bolt (E) and slide it into (I). This will be inserted into the left side of the bike. Use the last sleeved nut to fasten on to the bike. The frame slider mount should look like picture #4. Make sure to torque the bolts according to factory mounting bolt specs. Put your fairings back on. The slider mount threads for the socket bolts, should be seen in the fairing gaps. Find out which slider (A) holds the shorter internal spacer (C) and use the shorter socket bolt (B) to mount this set on the right side of the bike. Should look like picture #5 afterwards. Lastly, use the slider bushing (D) on the slider set for the left side of the bike. The bushing should look like picture #6. You should now be left with no remaining pieces… if you still have a piece, you did it wrong. Hope this helps someone with their install!
