Default Rushmore fork sliders with drain plug

Are there any fork sliders for the Rushmore models that have the drain plug?

I'm not sure but I think they are probably a thing of the past.
My Indian didn't have them either. You had to remove the forks and empty them to do a proper service.

The forks need to be disassembled and cleaned / new seals installed to do a proper job anyway so the drain screws were discontinued.

Makes sense that you would need to disassemble them in order to do a proper job. Seems none of the shops around here want to deal with it, having a hard time finding anyone willing to do it.

There really not that bad of a job , I had never done them before when I tore my new , at the time ,14 SG down and put chrome lowers on , it's not a Harley but this guy was who I watched and decided to do it myself , I'd also recommend a OEM service manual , it will pay for itself on this job alone .
