Easiest Frame Sliders to Install?

ajcadoo · February 21st, 2012, 11:01 PM

I am looking for a basic set of sliders that are super easy to install. I dont wanna have to take it to a mechanic to get the job done.

However, I dont have very many motorcycle tools since I just got the bike. I have standard socket wrenches, screwdrivers, etc etc, but nothing too fancy like a bike stand or engine stand or whatever else.

I have been searching the forums and some installs seemed to be much more difficult to install than others. What are your suggestions?

BTW, the only reason I want the sliders is to prevent fairing damage in case of a dropped bike.

Shoguns are pretty easy to install. I sent a PM with links to where I got mine. If I remember correctly, I needed to use deep socket wrenches, as well as hex wrenches. I used a floor jack...no stand needed.
