Puig frame sliders?

[Shafe716]

Has anyone put these sliders on? Anyone tested them? I've never seen anyone talk about them on the forum yet. http://www.indysuperbike.com/customer/product.php?productid=121489&cat=30495&page=1

Yes, I have Puig sliders. I think they looks bit of better than others.
There is also nice ZF6 logo on top of them.

I've got the blue ones to match my blue '06.





I've never tested them (thank goodness), but they seem like they'd do their job in a drop. I believe they're made of the same Delrin that a lot of other sliders are made of (i.e. they'll grind down and not "bounce" in a drop). I second the notion that I like that the end caps have the "Fazer" on the end...just adds a little different look.

how hard are these to install? do we have to drill?

I have these too, but I had the dealer put them in before I ever even brought the bike home.

Nope. No drilling needed. They bolt right on at one of the engine mounting points on either side. This is key though: MOUNT THEM ONE AT A TIME! If you don't, then you risk your engine shifting downward and you really don't want that.

I ordered these last week as well, they are coming it tomorrow and planning on installing them myself. I assume a torque wrench is all I need? And from what I gather it should be set to 40lbs? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

You'll need a hex driver that's the size of the bolt too. I don't remember what it is off the top of my head, but I know I had to go to the store to get one.

I didn't have a torque wrench when I installed my sliders so I just gauged how much pressure it took to break the factory one loose and used that as kind of a reference point to install the new ones.

Don't forget to Loctite the threads too! (Red or Blue Loctite is fine)

I got them in but have yet to install them. I noticed that one of the sliders has a longer bolt than the other. Does the longer one go on the left side?

Thanks.
