Chrome sliders installed - finally!
instuction sheet
Greg,
Have you got an instruction sheet with the kit? If positive: what is the -J.... number (this enables me to search for it on the www)? If I cannot find it, could you send me pdf copy to add to the ***H-D instruction sheets database***

Surprisingly well. Covered all my tins with towels and put on some safety glasses. I used a socket wrench so I could keep down pressure on the caps at all times. It helped that the big *** socket was heavy as well as my Craftsman wrench. Using the socket also helped to wrestle them back down and hold them down and level until I could get the threads to catch. Then I just tightened them up and I was done.
Of the entire process, the part that gave me the most trouble was reseating the fork oil seals as deep as they needed to go. Basically fashioned a blunt punch and carefully used a hammer and worked my way around to get them in.
Really appreciate all your help and advice with this PK!

Yeh, Skully, they are stock 07 FXD mags that I had chromed. I bought them from a forum member for a couple hundred bucks, sent them off to get them chromed and then sold my stock spokes for exactly what I paid for these rims. Essentially I swapped them out without having my bike down while I waited. I had an offer to do a straight swap with someone else without exchanging money other than cost of shipping. But I would have had to leave my bike up on a lift with no wheels while the rims were being chromed. Ended up taking 6 weeks to get them back but that's another story. I'm very happy with how it all turned out. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions about it.
