Olie you rock for measuring!

My goal is to hug the fairing as best I can with these. You have to admit though, the FZR doesn't really have sexy lines to begin with so it's tough to kill them. :)
However, dealing with broken fairings is much worse than dealing with broken lines. I may be biased though since I'm trying to sell these.

Besides, that's what my cover protectors will be for....those that want the covers protected from getting broken but don't want to have anything around the fairings.

No, just a lot of people that don't want to repaint fairings. The 600 frame doesn't accept sliders so we have to get creative.

I see what you're saying about the leg issue. That's been taken care of in the slight design changes but I haven't fabbed it up yet because I'm waiting on the fairing measurements. Need to make sure it will clear.

I see that you guys got no top engine mount.
We have a triangle droper coming down from frame that has top engine mount.

The boxed slider should work well but i was thinking the back end could do with a angle back to take the solid 90degres away.
