Steve and Steven,

I ordered a pair of Skyking sliders for my new '01 ST and agree that 
they are high quality materials.  No fairing modifications are required. 
There is a minor problem though, that John has very quickly handled. 
Skyking sends two different sized bushings - a long one (90mm) for the 
right side and a shorter one (50mm) for the left, along with 
installation instructions and pictures.  The set is Skyking part no. 17B 
for the 1998-2002 ST.  But the mounting points on the '01 ST are 
equidistant from the outer edges of the fairing and so the left slider 
barely peeks out.  This might not be true for the 1998-99 or 2000 model 
years.
The sliders were installed Tuesday by the dealer so we called John about 
the different sized bushings.  Not sure yet how this happened, but John 
has been great about this and promptly agreed to send a 90mm assembly 
for the left side.  John has kept in touch, is great to work with and 
I'm confident about the product - although I don't plan any crash 
testing.  The question is, are there differences between the engine 
mounts or fairing shapes on the '01 ST and other years?
