Trex Frame Sliders Install Issue

[Mikus11]

Hey all! 2008 VFR800ABS 

 

Doing my fall maintenance changed oil and coolant. My new TRex no cut frame sliders came in and I'm running into an issue.

 

I started off on the left side as picture. The top bolt would not tighten. I suspected there was a nut on the other side that was not captive and that I did not notice. When I went around to the other side, I saw there was a nut and of course I dropped it and now its fallen somewhere I can't get to! This has gone badly. Hopefully I can find and fish these pesky nuts out with a magnet.

 

Question - I assume there is a nut on both sides on that top bolt? I have a service manual but can't locate the diagram with this nut or the part number if I need to replace them. Of course I'd rather just find them than have them get into somewhere.

 

Can anyone help with a schematic and/or part number? Definitely can't ride the bike with that not secured.

think I answered my own question found a parts diagram online:  94050-10000 Nut, Flange (10MM)

Be very careful to reinstall the spacer behind the bottom bolt every time you reinstall the slider. Don’t ask me how I know! 😳

Hi Mikus11, just saw your post, how did you go with this? I have the same sliders on my eighth gen. I believe the nut is captive, sounds like as Wiremanjon suggested it’s the spacer that’s has fallen down. Hope you got this all sorted.
