I don't know of anything that's specifically designed for the pre kats. Best you're probably going to do is something generic off of ebay and build yourself some custom mounts. One of the problems is that there isn't a good frame mounting point in the right area so unless you're really creative with the mount and willing to drill the fairing you're not going to be able to put a slider where it'll do any good.

can i drill in to the frame with out hurting it to bad?

Gotta ask these questions, ya know. Arsenic gets confused easy.

Very true.

[TRPUT]

I don't do aesthetics - I like my bike ('05) to be ugly but practical - like its owner.

Coil relay mod (better running)
12v outlet (charge on the go)
Integrated LED tail light (so I could fit luggage - does look cool)
Fender extender (to keep crap off the engine and oil cooler)
Oil cooler guard (protection against all the other crap - provides a little bling)
Headlight protector (you know - to protect the headlight)
Up-graded headlight bulbs (so I at least see the roo before I hit it)
Side clearance lights (to give the roos something to aim at)
Bigger, better battery (275 CCA compared with about 150 CCA stock)
Alarm / Immobilizer (just in case someone else has poor taste in bikes too)

Yes, you can but keep in mind that the frame is hollow and not made from particularly thick material. It's not too difficult to put a crimp in the frame tubing and that will weaken the frame. I think if I were going to install sliders by drilling and screwing the slider on, I'd use an add-on plate. Basically, it'd look like a 3-4" long plate, the height of the frame tubing. Drill through the plate and weld a nut on for the slider bolt. Then I'd drill the frame large enough for the nut and weld the plate onto the frame. That way if you drop the bike on the slider, the force will be spread over a larger portion of the frame rather than a single point.

Unlike TRPUT I chopped my rear fender - free
Then I did a home made laminar lip - free (I had a donor screen that wasn't free )
5 degree advancer is a great bang for the buck

Love it! You guys are really creative.

[Wild-Bill]

You think that's creative, you should see what I can do with a welder.

I would buy the Reverse Style Illumiglo Gauges theses are sick .. This is my next but after sprockets and new chain ..

I wish I knew a nearby welder. Better still, I wish I had good welding gear. My luggage rack would be 1/3 the weight and a lot prettier.

120v wire feed welders are pretty cheap

[Wild-Bill]

That's exactly what I've got. Check the local pawn shops and see what you can find. Remember, it's always better to do it yourself. Nobody cares about your bike more than you do.

You can get a decent 120v welder from Harbor Freight Tools for like $90 that is a great keep at home welder. With the right knowledge and technique its suitable for pretty much any regular Joe's welding needs.

I believe its Chicago Electric..?? I do know it works well for its price, an I actually have an old model also I picked up that is from the 80's an still works. Its no Miller or other high end welder but great bang for buck
