I tried to put these on last night but the new longer bolts seemed like they had a different thread pattern. i kinda forced them as tight as possible but the slider was still way loose. these are the correct ones for my bike. whats the deal? do i need different bolts?

 

What sliders hick? and what thread/length on the bolt did they give you?

 

i do believe that one bolt is longer than the other. (i think, its been a while)

 

theyre protek sliders. the bolts look about 2 1/4in or 2.5in long with the threads going up halfway.

 

are the bolts the same size ? did you thread match the bolts with the stock bolt ?

 

sounds like u stripped out the motormount

 

They should go on like butter. One size for the right side an another size for the left. I torqued mine to spec and once it warm the sliders get a little loose. Must be nomal because I've checked it about 10 times. Hopefully you didn't strip the mounts.

 

the first time i screwed the bolts in it got tight within a few turns. i might just return them and save the money.

 

why dont u just take out one of the bolts and see if there stripped or not....... if they are, use a tap and die set to fix your problem...

 

Almost sounds like the shoulder of the boltis stoppingit from screwing in all the way.
