I finally got around to getting the step sliders that Jim Beedon, (2badfjs) built, painted and mounted. They went on pretty easy, once I moved the PS fuel and brake lines away from the frame. Buggers are HEAVY - had to use a floor jack and jack stands, since I was working alone. On the DS I needed to remove the upper Cat and muffler heat shields to get a clean shot at the frame for the U bolts. Took a couple hours (for me) to get every T'd up, mounted and buttoned up. Jim was very helpful, and did not call me an idiot when I called with questions. All the hardware and instructions was included with the slider. Very professional.
I give these sliders two thumbs up.
The picture below shows them as they are now - painted with a 2" non-skid strip glued on the top outside surface. When I repaint the cruiser, I will pull the snake blinders off, and Line-X the lower quarters. At the same time, I'll powder coat the sliders to match the Line-X (probably do them in grey).
Anyway, thanks, Jim for the extra mile effort, and here is a pic...
