Honda F4/F4i Frame Slider Installation
Instructions are based on the use of our special alignment tool
Start on either side but don't remove both engine mount screws at the same time.
1. Remove the three screws in the fairing that are located at the back, upper back corner (near where your knee
would be if you were on the bike tucked in), and lower middle of the fairing. Leave in place the three screws that attach
the lower fairing to the upper fairing.
2. Disconnect the lower fairing from the black plastic intake tube cover by pulling firmly but carefully on the fairing while
holding the cover in place.
3. Using a 14mm socket on a long breaker-bar, remove the engine mount screw that lies in the vicinity of the V-shape
of the frame where the smooth, extruded aluminum of the frame is welded to the comparatively rough, cast part of the
motorcycle’s frame. To do this you will have to gently pull the loosened fairing out enough to get the breaker-bar on
the screw.
4. Insert the alignment tool into the hole that the engine mount screw was just removed from and patiently thread it in
as far as possible. Once threaded in the tool should not have any lateral movement, this will insure accuracy with step
six.
5. Gently place the fairing back in position and replace the three screws that you took out in step one. You should not
have any trouble snugging the screws.
6. Gently press the exterior of the fairing in the vicinity of the tool until you determine its location, then, press more
firmly until you see a hint of the point of the tool pushing into the fairing. You now have a mark that should be precisely
aligned with the engine mount screw hole (frame slider mounting point).
7. Remove the alignment tool.
8. Drill a small pilot hole at the mark that the tool made and verify it is true with the engine mount.
9. Carefully cut out the hole, making sure to keep the mark at the center. The best way to achieve a round hole for
your sliders is to use a hole-saw. You should be able to find one at any hardware store or building supply store for a
few dollars. You should use a hole-saw that is at least 1/8” bigger than the diameter of your sliders.
10. Once you have cut the hole you may reinstall the three fairing screws and snap the air duct cover and the fairing
back together.
11. Apply a small amount of grease or oil to the screw threads. The slider can now be installed. When installing the
right slider make sure to install the slider with the larger diameter base on it, as it will not fit into the recess on the left
side of the motorcycle. The right side screw is 10mm longer than the left screw. Also, use no more torque on the screw
than necessary to insure no damage will be done to the threads of the
engine mount.
12. Repeat for the opposite side.
To maintain the new shine of your OES frame sliders, use an automotive wax or polish on them regularly. Over time,
slight oxidation of the Delrin will occur if this is not done.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about installation.
