Isaw the post on how to do it but was curious if anyone else has done this and if there are any negatives to doing it (upkeep, rust, etc.)

 

same here, its on my list to do. I'm sure just a polishing/wax compound would suffice for aftercare. those sliders do take a beating from road grim, etc.mine are toast, was going to install chrome sliders but heard form other threads that they won't work w/kury fork brace.[:@]

 

You can try doing it yourself and saving a few bucks or have them done by a metal polisher. I bought a set of sliders off of a 2004 Superglide from e-bay recently ($20.00 shipped to my door) and will be sending them out.

You might want to get a price from Mike at http://mikespolishing.com/. Seems pretty reasonable and it is a whole lot cheaper than going chrome. I thought about doing them myself, but if you contact Mike he'll go through his process which is a lot more involved than just polishing the sliders.
