Re: [ST] Low Speed Damage



SkyKing.  You just pull the t-55 torx bolt for the engine mount through the frame (you can see it through the vent in the fairing on each side).  The engine doesn't move.  Just put the frame slider in and tighten.

Matt,  From what source did you get your frame sliders
and how do they mount?
