Default Need to drill a hole

for some frame sliders..Had them for like a year now, never had time to put 'em on. Anyone with experience on how to drill an opening where it needs to be? I know the process, just don't wanna be off and fuck up the fairing..

I had to drill a hole for my R6. I just made a small hole, then lined it up and looked through it and made it bigger as needed, a little bit at a time, until it was the right size for the slider. I guess I did it right cause you cant see the hole with the slider in it.

i did to 2 bikes i owned (F3s) what u do is put a plastic on the a piece of wood and drill from outside. use slow very slow speed at first. they should tell u whats the hole size. first put claydol behind the fairing to know where u're going to drill. .. heres a site with better instructions
