The one's I had were vortex no-cuts. Also not cheap-ass Shoguns. I saw the adapter, but in my opinion, the way it's designed it's going to dent the frame around the mounting point if you go down.
All I'm saying is I hope you have better luck with your than I did with mine.

Agreed. No cuts suck! Like you, I didn't want the hassle of cutting my plastics, so I went the no cut route with Vortex on the 05 R6. The bracket bent and rotated, scratching the frame. My plastics also got scratched. Send those things back, get regular sliders and then cut a hole in your plastics. I know you like your bike to look sweet, but you can make the hole look VERY clean. It's really not that difficult and well worth it in my opinion.

^yup. I cut my street and track plastics very carefully and frankly, it came out perfect. Looks great.
I'll say it again just for the sake of repetition: woodcraft.

Listen to this man he knows his shit. Don't believe it? I had no cuts up until my recent low side. The adapter didn't break but the fucking bolt in it bent like a bitch and sent the adapter into the frame. It's still there btw I'll take a pretty picture of it tomorrow.

Huh, I've been very impressed with Motovation's products - but then, they're local and I've seen how they make and test their stuff. The owner is the shit...
