Just installed my frame sliders (Pro Tek). In the instructions on the back of the package it says use a 2" whole saw. To play it safe I got a piece of old plastic and drilled it with the 2" hole saw, then I took the slider and placed it inside to check the clearence. It was to much in my opinion, if I made a hole that big on my fairing it would look dreadfull, especially on the side (near your left knee) where there is an allen bolt holding the fairing. The 2" hole would either come to close or overlap into the hole were the existing bolt was. So I tried a 1 3/4", and drilled a test piece again, it gave me a nice fit. After that I went through the regular steps to find the center point on the engine bolt, and drilled the fairings. lease: then mounted the sliders, great fit, they have clearence but you can barelly see the gap. The hole saw I used was a Milwakee part# 49-56-0100. There is a 1 7/8" if you have a slder that may be a little bigger part# 49-56-0110, but i would try and use the smallest slider as possible to avoid drilling into the factory allen bolt. I will try and post some pics later.
