2000 R6 Slider Install: Cutting The Fairing

Part 1.

Expenses: One 2″ whole saw bit and one Magic Marker. I also used my hand drill, Dremel/sander bit, a 17mm socket/ wrench, and a phillips. Take a magic marker. Cut off 3/4s of it. Tape up the end, so it doesn’t leak all over. Take off the fairings. Take off one of the engine mount bolts. Put the marker in the hole backwards. This will mark the fairing when you put it back on. Put the fairing back on, and make sure the marker marks the spot. Take the fairing back off, and drill a pilot hole. Then, use the hole saw bit to finish the drilling. Next, use the Dremel or sandpaper to take off the edges. Take out the marker and mount the sliders. Put the fairings back on and your done.

Part 2.

After the last install, I thought I had posted the best frame wise way to do it, but after going to the track, I picked up on some things, so I’m going to tell you a new way. Your mid cowling has a main bolt near the top. You know you are looking at this bolt because it has a rubber washer on it. This bolt goes into you Delta Box. Take the mids off. Tap and Die that hole to the size of bolt you want to use for the Magic Mushrooms (frame sliders). Put your fairings back on and put the Mushrooms on. You have just installed frame sliders without cutting you fairings. I would recommend this if you are going to do moderate track time then sell the bike. It does not give the ultimate strength of the first method and it will make the grounding points different. ie: your bike might have a little less damage, or a little more when grounded. The grounding test has not been tested. I’m sure you have read the original technique on installing Magic Mushrooms, this can be found in the “How To” as well. I would recommend this for the full on race jockey. It will be able to take more impact (or impacts) because the bolt goes into the engine creating a more solid, immovable placement. Have fun putting them in, if your not having fun working on your bike you are in the wrong sport.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.

The great thing about these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the shortage of limitations and ease of manipulation that enables developers to implement wealthy content and ‘pores and skin’ the location in such a manner that with little or no effort one would by no means discover what it is making the location tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.

brief history of network marketing December 17, 2010 at 1:38 am

This is a savage reality fact : Most sponsors do not practice their folk. That is just the way it is, and I simply wish it wasn’t similar to that, but it is. Request anyone who also has been in MLM for several time. They can be going to say a similar thing, if they’re truthful. That is why that an excellent teaching system, such as training manuals, cds, over the internet training, and reside occasions and meeting call teaching is a complete must. That gives the new distributors a’menu’ to select from and to begin getting their coaching straight away.
