Default How hard to put Dyna slipons on a softtail?

My next door neighbor has a Softtail Deluxe and got some SE slipons off of a friends Dyna. How hard to put them on? What's needed?

I guess he can mount them with clamps, and the underneath bar to hold them together, but I don't know how is he going to attached them or hold them to the bike

I bet the crossover bar that attaches the two slipons together interferes with the swingarm...
you guys just need to look at the mounting situation you have and see if you can come up with something...
look at your dyna look at his softail and compare the two.

The softail has tabs to mount the slipons while the dyna has slots that the mounting bolts slide into.
