No, I am certainly not breaking a Cruiser. I bought one earlier this year and I am 'converting it'. The first thing I did was take the steps off and make some steel rocksliders. The steps are undamaged and sitting in storage complete with brackets and the original bolts. I am in Chesterfield, East Midlands (it should say that under my Avatar). Don't have any pictures. They look just like a set of pristine 80 side steps. They are from a '93 but as far as I know there were no different version of steps. Lads? Karl might be a source too as he does break 80s. He also breaks them (ha ha, sorry Karl).
