I got my bars from the same guy awhile back. The powdercoat was TERRIBLE. Soft as butter and you could see the tong marks where he took it out of the oven. Its nearly impossible not to mar the finish just getting the bars/ controls on.
I'm not the only one that had problems with the powdercoat from him either. I've talked to two others that said the exact same thing!
Otherwise, looks pretty good......*almost* ashame choppin' up that discontinued olive paint though.

Hey thanks guys!
The Olive paint was a bit of an issue. I did purchase the correct olive pearl from the dealership, and found an excellent Clear Flat from Hot Rod Flatz ( who by the way carrys similar olive paint they call Olive Brown, however, my shade keeps mismatching from just a smidget. I've given the go ahead to my painter to just reshoot the tank along with the fender if we can't match it.
