Default Billet Sliders?

I did a search on this and came up with nothing, does anyone have the Harley Billet sliders on their ride? I've wanted inverted forks for the longest time but when I saw these sliders this morning they changed my mind!! I found these on fleebay for approx $300.

Chrome Billet Fork Sliders

Smooth as liquid metal. These tapered spherical lower fork sliders add a bold, clean look to the front of your custom ride. Machined from 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum, this mirror-polished and chrome-plated slider kit features a hidden axle and smooth fender and caliper mounts for a show-winning appearance. Complete kit includes left and right lower sliders, axle, smooth slider dust covers and all required installation hardware.

Well, since no-one knows anything about these, I stepped up and puttem on. They are beautiful! Unfortunately I can't take it for a drive till spring. But I'm proud of them, they were easy to install.

Thanks.
They weren't hard at all, service manual in hand about 3 hours done. My biggest worry was I didn't have the seal tool, thought I was going to have to head to the shop and make one, but a post office shipping tube did the job just fine.

I looked at those also, but decided to go black instead. A peice of 2" pvc is also a good tool for that.

Good Idea, thanks. I can't tell by your pic but do you have the stock lowers, black? Or are they another brand? Do you have a better pic?
