Default CBR F2 Frame Slider help

Has anyone put frame sliders on a 91-94 F2? If so what all is involved and are there any pics out there? Thanks again.

http://www.zmoe.com/sliders.html (But you can find the instructions in several places on the web) You will end up drilling through the fairings. (not always the case in all bikes, but for sure in the F2s and F3s)

Hehe your F3 is loaded with battle scars like mine. That's the problem with new bikes, no battle scars.

You'll want to use a hole saw with a pilot bit, and drill BACKWARDS, this way the teeth don't grab and tear the plastic....it will make a nice straight hole without all the sharp jagged edges......also you want to drill from the inside of the fairing out....

Battle scars...hahaha. Yeah, our bikes have character.

Actually, we drilled from the outside. Be sure to use masking tape on the outside of the fairing if you choose to drill from outside in. With regards to the jagged edges, you could use a dremel to take care of the rough parts. Also, I used a 2" hole saw. I've heard it's a tighter/closer fit if you use a 1 7/8" hole saw, but that also depends on your frame slider size.

Another option is to drill using the 2" hole saw and filling the edge of the hole in with a rubber grommet. It's a tighter fit, but it looks better.
