just finished installing my new frame sliders from t-rex . at first i had problems getting the holes on the engine cradle to line up . problem was the bike was tilted due to my driveway but when i found level ground it went smooth from there . but thanks to jaybell i brought a dremel tool and it wouldve been a nightmare without it .

I installed the T-Rex Frame Sliders last weekend. I also had trouble lining up the engine cradle bolts and had to dremel down a few edges on the brackets. Overall, it was a fairly easy install. The most time consuming part was removing the fairings as it was my first time.

glad it worked out for you folks!
most of the issues mentioned thus far, are caused by the cradle/frame welding variances, and the MFG variances of the slider bracket themselves it seems
some drop on, some need to add clearance for welds, etc
either way, i'm glad the writeup and pics help!

Three weeks after installing the T-Rex Racing frame sliders, I reluctantly tested them. The kickstand wasn't deployed all the way and as I stepped off, bike fell over . The good news is that the sliders worked perfectly, not a single scratch or crack in my plastics So glad I bought those frame sliders.2003 GSX600F

It appears they bolt right up but you would have to cut a hole in your fairing in that location.
This is the only ones that fit pre98.

Any one had a crash with it?
I had a Brazilian Slider (I`m brazilian), and I had an acident very slow, the slider didn`t stay. It twisted, and the faring get scratched.
The faring is painting now...
So I was thinking on buying this t-rex one...
But I was wondering if the frame will support a crash with it.
The slider won`t twist with this support, but if the frame twist will be much worst...
