Question for those who installed T-Rex frame sliders.

[DanielW0830]

Does the left slider come off the engine at < 90 deg ?
and the right one more like 90 ?

Just wondering.

Most people who've installed them added extra washers under the left-side bracket. Without the washers, the bracket will contact the engine case, which I guess could cause the slider to sit an angle.

Throw a washer in at the front mounting bracket and your problems will be solved - that's what I did and it worked great (it's my bike that T-Rex uses for their promo photos etc).

Later!

did the left fairing have enough clearance from the left adapter? or did you just bend it to install or cut a piece of for clearance to prevent it from flexing?

I certainly had an interesting time installing the T-Rex sliders....They had been out of stock for awhile when I ordered them...I had to call and they said they JUST got them back in, and that they had changed them....Well I couldnt use the "How To" for them cause neither one of the sliders had a notch in them for a fairing. It had its own instructions, but it also explained that one should have a notch, and it was basically a simpler version of our "How To"....I was fairly sure I had got the wrong kit, but I decided to try it anyways.

I still don't know if I did it right, but it worked. But I do not know what the actual question pertains to, cause I didn't have that problem.

thanks. looks like my install, the intructions it came with does not mention the right adapter that it came with, it just says that the right slider is a direct install with the notch lined up with the fairing. the left side you have to make a couple of adjustments, basically have the adapter between the 5 and the 6 o'clock position so that the fairing does not hit it. i really thought they sent me the wrong kit but i was also doing the install @ 2 am in the morning when my brain wasnt upto thinking about anything but installing the sliders. lol
