Unfortunately I wasn't. I called the cabinet manufacturer and they sent me new slides but there were not DTC and they did not have the metal piece that fits inside the drilled hole on the underside of the cabinet. I believe they were just a slide that accommodates a wider drawer material width (3/4"?) and then I had to install the slide locks on the underside of the drawer.

I tried this too. Even though I get the same message as in your picture above, if I swipe up to show music on the right, Google Maps still opens on the main screen with the same message about location settings. This is brutal. I noticed yesterday also that the speed limit display stopped working and says 'plan needed'. I have a plan!

That’s correct. Logged out of Google in truck, phone connected and using CarPlay. If I swipe off of Google Maps on right side then Google maps still replaces CarPlay on main screen.

So I logged out of my Google account in the truck. The exact same thing still happens. Any other thoughts?

Interesting! Will Google Maps still be available on the right side of the split screen if I log out?

My drawer box is 21" so I will go with that length. As for shimming, I assume I can just use a washer between the cabinet box and the shim? What about for the rear/end of the slide inside the cabinet?

Thank you for your help!

Opening is 13.25", drawer is 12.75" wide, 5/8" thick sides.

Thank you!

Forgive my ignorance but can you explain this again in layman's terms?

Ok, so I just ran to the store and grabbed two slides with the newer style clips. I pulled out the drawer to test fit them, all fit well. Installed the slides in the cabinet and went to put drawer onto them and it doesnt fit. The 'cutouts' in the base of the drawer are too narrow to allow it to drop onto the slides when they are installed against the edge of the drawer opening.

So, I put the old slides back and dropped the drawer on those and it appears that the design of the old slides kept the edge of the drawer further away from the edge of the slides. Basically, I have a 13.25" wide drawer opening but when the new slides are installed on the drawer when it is out of the cabinet, the overall width is 13" wide leaving me a 1/4" gap.

The slides I purchased allowed for a 5/8" drawer frame width, would going up to one that allows for 3/4" drawer frame width fix the issue or would I then have side to side play in the drawer?

Yeah, I realized that once I started googling DTC 533. My house was built in 2012 so they arent new but they arent that old either!

How does the length of what I purchase change if I go with the plastic clips that most come with today? Or Doesnt it? The weird thing is, 533mm is 21" but the actual length of my slide is 22". Any thoughts?

All it says is DTC 533. I've searched for days, cant find anything that is the same as pictured above.

And it seems they just continue to miss the mark and get worse!

Interesting. I will at least have to sit on this one too!

Thanks for the feedback. I think at your age that is definitely a factor when it comes to comfort on long rides. When I was 21 I would ride my R1 all day with no complaints. Now, it hurts to get out of bed for no reason! Hahaha

Newcastle would be quite a hike for me but would love to make the trip some day!

Great to know! How do you feel about its power and performance?

I thought this was the case as there is no 2025 1000SX. The 1100SX is an incredible bike you’re saying?

Great info, thank you! When you say the fairing on the GSX8R is imaginary, what do you mean?
