Sorry Cameroonie, you are wrong on this one.  The bolts go into a
thru-hole in the frame and are held in place by a lock-nut on the other 
side.  I know this because I installed the SkyKing sliders on my bike coupla 
a months back.

Peckham, other than being coarse thread(USS) vs. fine(SAE) I did not think 
the sliders were of any *inferior* quality and held the recommended torque 
just fine.

I am, of course, keeping an eye on them, as I do any mods....about 2000 
miles, so far, OK.  Another, 1500 scheduled this week-end.  I'll let ya'll 
know if any problems develop...........
