I picked up some vortex frame sliders a few weeks after I got the bike.I have never put them on yet,or even tried to put on frame sliders.

My bike is a 06 636 and I got the straight frame sliders where you have to cut the fairings.

Has anyone put them on a 636 themselves?
My friend said he could probally get me a used set of the non cut frame sliders,but I might not want to wait since I got a long weekend,and have time to put them on..

Any advice?
Any tricks?

 

You only have to cut 1 side. Measure twice, cut once. Use a hole saw, not a dremel.

 

Yep, one side. It's the left side (if you're sitting on the bike). Good luck!

 

Yeah basically only one side needs to be cut.But I have looked at others that were done at dealerships,its not just a circle cut into the fairing.Maybe a 1in hole,but they are cut on ttop and on the bottom.Like a straight line.

Kinda hard to explain

 

dont fall. throw them in the garbage.

 

Mine is cut in the shape of a half moon

 

i put them on my 06gsxr.... i had to dremal out the fairing on both sides....its not to bad just take your time with a dremal and a fine bit....mine came out great...took about a hour and a half....

 

nice to see a fellow rx7 owner get a 06 ninja, i just finished getting my 05 back on the road, we all have to ride together sometime.

 

Wouldn't a unibit pretty much kick ass for this job?

 

I thought I saw you/and your bike like a month ago.Blue zx6r with no front on


I have a brand new unibit here,but that wont do the job.

Imagine a cirlce at the end of an opening for a fairing,well cut the top and bottom horizontal,and flat.thats what I need.

If I can get pics from my friends bike.I will post pics of what I mean.Im just scared to cut it wrong
