This Pro-tek no cut frame slider kit is made from acetal plastic for strength and durability.
It comes with all steel bolts and mounting hardware along with complete instructions needed for installation.
The kit contains two acetal pucks with aluminum shims and steel bolts that clear the fairings by an inch.
You do not want a slider to stick out too far or it will cause a bike to flip in a crash by snagging on the ground. You want the puck to either touch down and start to grind off and not catch on anything or if hit hard enough or direct enough to shatter and absorb the initial crash energy. If the slider shatters, grinds off or bends, it did its job in absorbing the crash energy. You dont want it transferring the energy to other parts of the bike causing more costly damage.
The right side puck measures 76mm (3") in length and uses a 10mm x 80mm steel bolt. The left side puck measures 82mm (3.25") in length and uses a 10mm x 70mm steel bolt. Both bolts are countersunk into the pucks.
These frame sliders are brand new in original packaging manufactured in the US from Pro-tek, a leading manufacturer in the motorcycle industry now for 25 years.

The frame sliders are to be mounted to the rearmost engine mounts. Refer to your service manual before performing this installation. Before beginning, make sure pinch bolts are tight to prevent any engine movement. Remove the rearmost engine mount bolt from the right side. Replace with the longer bolt supplied with shorter frame slider. Repeat this on the left side with the short bolt supplied with longer puck and torque to factory specifications. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
