at the beginning of november, i saw a special discount on motosliders on one of the bike forums.

i went ahead and bought both the frame sliders and swing arm sliders. installation of the swing arm sliders were VERY easy. well, i can't say the same about the frame sliders, since i could NOT get the nut off the engine mount!!!!
i struggled with it off and on for over a month. i was 99% convinced to go buy an impact wrench. well, last night, went to homedepot and found 1/2" 17mm socekt on sale for under $2.00. i grabbed that and a can of liquid wrench. after soaking the nut with the liquid wrench and waited for 10 min. i yanked the nut with my extra long 1/2" bar, and it finally came loose.
installation was a breeze, but you need two socket wrenches with at least one deep 19mm socket. a torque wrench would come in handy, too, i think.
picture will come later.
