Done! My VFR 2008 now has the frame sliders - too bad I didn't do this before dropping the bike!
Many thanks for these clear instructions, indeed the hardest part was the water bottle.
I examined mine, and if the water bottle is OVER the "full" line, it DOES overflow when it gets hot.
Therefore, I would caution anyone that wishes to install a smaller bottle.
Btw, did anyone drop the bike after the frame sliders? What happens when it's simply dropped
(and not skidded across), does the handlebar hit the ground? Does it break a lever? Does it break
the mirrors - I already made Honda rich with my mirror and handlebar changes and their overpriced accessories
thanks, -turgut
