[QUOTE="dobias, post: 202904, member: 475"] I have the as yet untested R&G sliders. I had no problem drilling the 2004 fairing but would never use them again. My problem is that it seems as if I'm forever removing the fairing for maintenance, farkles or additional wiring. The engine bolt threads gave out early on & I had to install Helicoils. I'm not a fan of Helicoils, either, after having trouble with them. If you need to replace the threads, get the insert type instead. Better yet, avoid the problem altogether & mount the type of slider that has it's own mounting bracket, avoiding use of the engine bolts. I know there are many out there that aren't ham handed like I am, but that's my advice. dobias :glare: [/QUOTE]
