[QUOTE="rfulcher, post: 947505, member: 5085"] Misery loves company. I now know I am not the only one with this issue. From the picture it looks like my sliders are the same brand When my 07 was new I installed sliders (C&G Moto? from Twisted Throttle) and the right bolt slightly? stripped. I was lucky that I could get the bolt out and back in with the slider. It looked more like the threads were galled instead of stripped. However it did torque to spec and I used blue Loctite. I decided that I will not remove that slider unless I have to. Well 50,000 miles later and the slider and bolt have not been touched. The slider will just barely slip thru the opening in the fairing, a little silicone lube helps. I have had the fairing off twice for valve adjustments. As long as it stays tight I am not going to touch it. If I have to I will slightly reshape the plastic of the slider rather than remove it. If I have to install an insert later I will, hope I never need to. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
