98-05 Honda Superhawk VTR1000 Frame Sliders Installation
WARNING: The installation of all parts in these installation instructions must be performed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic who is using the correct tools and who understands the correct use of all tools required to complete the installation.
1. Start on the right side (throttle side) by removing the screw from the rear area of the fairing. This
screw is directly above the clutch housing. Removing the screw will allow the fairing to flex outward
enough to access the frame slider mounting point.
2. Remove the engine mount screw that the red arrow is pointing to in the photo above.
3. The right side slider and bracket assembly should be marked upon receipt- if is not, use the slider
and bracket assembly that has the shortest of the two screws (100mm long) and the longest aluminum
spacer.
4. Remove the slider from the bracket.
5. Place the aluminum spacer in the frame where the factory engine mount screw was removed, then,
using the 100mm mounting screw, install the bracket over the spacer with the recess in the bracket
pointing away from the bike.
6. Position the assembly. It may be helpful to temporarily add the slider to the bracket to check the
positioning of the assembly.
7. After the correct position is achieved, tighten the bracket-to-engine mounting screw. Using a
torque wrench, tighten to the factory torque specification (same as factory screw).
8. Medium strength thread locker must be used on the threads of the screw that holds the
slider to the bracket. Vibration can cause the slider to loosen over time and possibly fall off the bike
so the thread locker and proper torque will prevent slider loss. WARNING: THE WASHERS MUST BE ON THE SCREW BEFORE INSTALLING THE SLIDERS
9. Remember to final tighten the slider screw- if using a torque wrench tighten to 30 ft/lbs.
10. The steps to install the left side assembly are the same except you'll be using the assembly with
the long screw and the short spacer.
Replacement sliders are available per side on the products page for the Superhawk VTR1000
