Premium Member ericpev Posted February 5, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted February 5, 2015 Just a quick question but after removing the original bolt, do I leave the washer in and then install the slider or do I take it out as well. Sorry if this is a noob question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverfox Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Been awhile since I've installed mine but If I remember, the sliders came with new bolts and washers. Take out the old bolts and washer if the factory used a washer, then use the bolt and washer included with the sliders to install them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member ericpev Posted February 5, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted February 5, 2015 I definitely see the oes washer that goes inside the slider with the bolt but I am talking about one between the slider and the bike itself. Like in order it would be: original washer->slider->oes washer->oes bolt? Is there even an original washer? Thought I saw one in the pictures of the how-to thread. I just want to confirm before I go to put them on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted February 5, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2015 I could not remember what I did so I just looked at my pile of parts that I have removed. I did not reuse the stock washers. They are sitting on a shelf with the bolts. I have had no troubles since I installed the sliders in August.

Premium Member GAZ Posted February 5, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted February 5, 2015 I didn't reuse anything I pulled off of the original bolt(s). I've had mine installed since the beginning of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member ericpev Posted February 5, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted February 5, 2015 Thanks guys. I went ahead and didn't reuse them so it looks like I did it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magsz18 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I just installed mine yesterday. Took the bike for a short ride and i THINK im noticing more vibration in my footpegs. I torqued the bolts to 35 ft lbs, loosened them and then retorqued. Im going to have to log more miles before i conclusively say that yes, there's more vibration.

Premium Member ericpev Posted February 5, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted February 5, 2015 Just took a short ride on mine and didn't notice a significant increase in vibration. Mind you that I wasn't looking for it. Ill try to pay more attention. On another note, install went smoothly! One side did feel a tad rougher screwing the bolt in but no matter how many times I tried, it felt that way. Very slight but I'm praying I didnt cross thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted February 5, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2015 The threads are long and coarse enough that I cannot see how you could cross thread it. It would take King Kong to screw it in all the way if it was cross threaded. I suspect you probably just got a bit of dirt on the thread. I would not worry about it.

Premium Member hobbs Posted February 5, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted February 5, 2015 Like @mjh937 said, probably a little debris. Without lubrication sometimes threads will gall anyway whether they were clean or not. Everything went braap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
