Ok, OK, I know this topic HAS been covered, but how many people have done them themselves and how did they turn out? And what method did you use? I am going to be installing mine next week. I just want to make SURE it turns out CLEAN. I'm VERY ...."anal" when it comes to the looks of everything. I still have the dang factory fender just because I haven't found the "perfect" eleminator kit yet!!! Thanks for the help in advance!!!!!!!!

I did mine myself and I am a total mechanic newbie. I used the tool (search around and you will find the link to it). I love the way they look.

I have Intuitive sliders and the tutorial at their site worked flawless. I am also anal about how everything looks, and I couldn't be happier how they turned out. Everthing lined up and fit like a glove, no modifying or adjusting when I was done. Here is the tutorial I followed Click Me

The way I've found that works the best, will only cost you about $10 extra.. Get one of those laser pointer, cat toys.. Mount it securely on a stool, or camera tripod and point it at the bolt where the frame slider will be installed. Then reinstall the fairing on that side, use all the screws too. The laser will be pointing EXACTLY where you have to drill with the holesaw.. and you can even drill it on the bike
I recommend getting the laser as close to the height and angle of the bolt as possible. Put the bike on a rear stand if possible, and dont let it move either.
I've done about 20 sets this way, and the hole is as close to perfect as you can get..
Also, to really clean it up, after the slider and fairings are installed, I get a couple of big o-rings and slide them over the slider up to the fairing, really cleans up the whole installation.. furniture grommets are another way to clean the hole up more..
