Crash knobs for Hyosung. Do they exist?

Yeah your right, drilling a hole in the fairing is going to be extremely hard. I'll have to mark out where I want the hole to be, and then I'll have to find the drill in the garage. Finding a drill bit the right size will be a huge mission alone. But the hardest part will be the actual drilling itself. From what I've heard, the most important thing is to make sure the drill is turning the correct way.

No no, read the article I posted - its good. The bike is held stationary on a trailer with some tie downs. Take the side fairing off. Line a laser level up with the centre of the frame mount. Replace the fairing and the laser level will show you the centre of the frame mount. Cover with masking tape to prevent a mess and drill. The laser level makes heaps of sense. Repeat on the other side unless you phucked up the first side and have decided to cry and crack a bottle of Jimmie.

Upon reading the post in that link, I now realise why you are worried about drilling the holes in the fairing. Personally, I wouldn't fuck about with laser levels and shuff. Just do a good job of marking it out and drill small holes to start with to ensure that you've got it right before you go taking to your fairing with a 2" hole saw.

Hey mate... Here is a great link. I would be keen on getting something setup with you considering you are in auckland. Would need a laser level and as the post suggests to strap the bike down on a trailer.

yea I may be keen for those, but I cant see where to buy them from ? is there a website or something or do we just buy them from NZ.

I dont see why we just cant find some that fit the thread on the Hyo. You would expect it to be a standard thread size - whats sticking out of the hole shouldnt matter.

Ill look around.

The guys in the Korider post:

say that either the frame slide kits from a Suzuki GS500 or a 1999 - 2002 Suzuki SV650, but then they later say they arent sure if they fit the 250r or 650r. hmmmm. Seing as they are both Suzuki I think a trip down to the local Suzuki dealer with an exposed frame mount would be in order.
