That wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I got a sharp new 1-1/16" plastic/metal/wood holesaw from ACE. It would prove to do a fine job on cutting through the plastic without boogering up the paint.
Finding the place to drill my pilot hole was a little bit of a chore. I tried Play-Doh, but the crap would not stick to the inside of my fairing. When I finally got it to cling long enough to leave an impression from the engine mount bolt (which I had backed out so it could make contact with the Play-Doh), I disturbed the imprint as I removed the fairing. Grrr.
The laser taped to a stepladder and pointing at the center of the engine mount bolt method didn't work because you couldn't see the dot on the bike's red pearl paint. Maybe I had too much light in the garage or the laser I was using (an old pointer of my roommate's) was weak.
On to Plan C then... triangulation. Yep, borrowed a little trick from my days working accidents and was able to drill two nearly perfect holes in the plastic. The photos of the finished product speak for themselves.
Hey, quick question for you guys...does your left hand slider turn by hand even after the bolt is tightened all the way down? Mine does, but I'm not terribly freaked out about it. Believe it or not, the very same side slider turned by hand after I installed Intuitive on my 954RR. Anyone else with similar experiences?
