Ok here's the write up for this. All in all, pretty dang easy. A couple of tricky spots, but nothing hard.
First, the patient
Next, the supplies
I installed the swingarm sliders first as it is super fricking easy. Here's a breakdown of the spools
A little blue locktite

Now on to the frame sliders.
Step one remove the fairings...been covered in depth
Step two open the package and try to figure out the crap instructions
I started with the left side. I held the bracket up to see what bolts I needed to remove.
The little solenoid or whatever for the emissions crap was in the way. I tried a few ideas for keeping the bracket, but ultimately took it off. A zip tie replaced said bracket nicely.
I locktited the bolts, and set the torque wrench to the suggested 10 ft lbs. Gave it a couple bounces past the click for good measure, put that side's fairing back on and voila, time to mount the slider puck. Again with the locktite...notice a pattern here?!
Some profile shots.
Now on to the right side. Very similar to the left, but one of the mounting points is the big bolt that is the engine mount. The kit comes with this big threaded nut/spacer thing.
Close up of the bracket installed.
Bracket
Reinstall fairings and bolt on the puck.
That's about it.
General impressions: I like them. They seem pretty sturdy and well made. The big spacer/nut on the engine mount is probably the only concern, but I locktited it and was carefull not to over-torque it. Hopefully I'll never have to see how they hold up in a get off, but they should help. Sorry if any of the pics suck, but I just had my phone. The wife had the camera at work.
Now for some gratuitous garage porn!

Thanks and feel free to ask questions. Hopefully this will help some of ya'll.
