I am thinking of installing some frame sliders on my bike, but am realizing the only way to do this is to remove the main bolt that secures the motor to the frame. Since the motor acts as a stress member on the bike, this connection is very important. I am sure when the bike was assembled at the factory is was tightened with a certain amount of torque. So I would be very reluctant to remove it. Also, with that bolt removed I,m thinking the motor might shift a little away from the frame and I would have a hard time aligning the two again. Can any frame sliders be installed without removing these engine/frame bolts? Or if I decide not to install any sliders, does anyone know of any caps that are available. I know that the caps would be purely cosmetic, but they would give the bike a more finished look. When I first saw the FZ, I thought the bike was missing a cap there anyway.
