No, it was 2 small pieces of tube that got welded to the ends of the rocker
that would be hidden by the front and rear fenders. I think the tube pieces
were about 2" long.

Yes it really is difficult to work with. One of the reasons I changed mine to
the later style when I re-did mine. I think it also helped the left rocker to
rust out, as the bottom of the fender would collect junk and eat thru that
layer forcing water and road grit into the harness opening that is right behind
it.
