A word of advice. If you live in a cold climate the stock running boards are actually great at keeping salt and snow off your cruiser. They are light weight aluminum so they don't rust. I used to have a Nissan Pathfinder with sliders and in the winter it would wedge snow, salt, and ice up against rocker panel. After a long time it begins to rust out. Plus the sliders eventually rusted out like you would not believe in the long run.
If you don't wheel and live where they salt the roads I wouldn't recommend getting sliders.
