How to install woodcraft frame sliders 650r

Its arched shape acts like a skid to guide the direction of a slide. By better absorbing the energy of a crash the new impact pads also reduce potential damage to the brackets and fasteners.

This means that after a low-speed crash only the plastic insert may need replacing. As before the shell is machined from billet aluminum. The new rounded shape prevents the slider from hooking into the track or road surface. The fastening system matches all existing brackets making for an easy upgrade. Rate This Item. Current Stock:.

Almost every install thread I read mentioned what a pain it was to remove all the fairings, and that it was quicker to just release the bottom of the upper fairings and install the slider mounting blocks with them pulled out.

I tried this method on the right side of my bike, and to be perfectly honest, I found it a serious pain to work with the fairing in the way. For the left side, I decided to remove the upper fairing, and while it took a little more time, it made installing the left slider mounting block a lot easier.

Any job worth doing well is worth doing right. The way the mounting blocks are designed, the plastic bobbin pokes through the bottom of the vent in the upper fairing. In these two pictures, you can see the frame where the mounting blocks will attach.

The bobbin is the sacrificial part in the event of a crash that will hopefully take all the damage instead of the precious bodywork or controls. I will follow this up with a write up on completely removing the ''08 Ninja R fairings. It may not be until tomorrow, because I think I may need to take a couple of extra pictures for clarity sake. So, now that you have all the fairings removed and safely stashed somewhere away from the work area, we will start with the right side slider installation.

One of the things that I wondered when I opened the package was "Which mounting block goes on which side? The easiest way to tell is to look at the bolt holes. The large hole is the engine mounting bolt hole, and it is on the bottom of the mounting block. The two smaller clamp bolt holes go toward the rear of the bike.

So for the right-side mounting block, the two smaller clamp bolt holes are on the left, and the engine mounting bolt hole is on the right. Vice-versa for the left-side mounting block. In the end, they can only be mounted on their intended sides, which is obvious now, but not before you remove the bodywork.

For Right Side: For Left Side: Aside from the fact that the mounting blocks look different, the installation procedure is the same. Using the ratchet with a 10mm socket driver, remove the engine mounting bolt that lines up with the large hole on the mounting block. This is the silver bolt on the underside of the red painted frame. Set this bolt aside. You will not be using it again. You should have two at the end of this exercise.
