Default New Levers?

So I'm looking at picking up some new levers. Does anyone want to comment on these, or suggest some other good ones that you like?

a) $55 Kuryakyn Trigger Levers http://www.kuryakyn.com/Products/115/Trigger-Levers
b) $135 H-D Touring Slotted Hand Control Levers http://www.amazon.com/Touring-Slotte...0784088&sr=1-3

HD seems so much more... not sure why other then paying for the name brand.

Your bike, get what YOU like.

Also, those HD levers you linked to on Amazon are for '08 & up Touring models.

I love these. They are very beautiful, shaped perfectly, and have great leverage. They'd be at least 20% off at Zanotti's

Buckshot Hand Control Lever Kit


Give a squeeze to these hot chrome custom hand levers. Loaded with "on target" style, these perforated levers are forged for added strength. The visual appeal shines through the counter-bored holes, and the finger notch offers a smooth, firm feel. A great match with Aileron grips, these Buckshot levers also complement any custom grip collection.

45430-07



Fits '96-'03 XL models, '96-later Dyna® and Softail® models, and '96-'07 Touring models. Does not fit Police, models or models equipped with hydraulic clutch.

MSRP US $159.95

There is a reason why the HD stuff is more money. The fitment is ALWAYS perfect. I guess these levers are OK.

Any one of them would be an improvement, the OE levers are truly ugly.

Buckshot Hand Control Lever Kit
I can't tell from the picture, but are those "Buckshot" marks, holes that go all the way thru the lever? Or divots?

Got a picture of it on your bike?

HD parts seem to fit better than other brands.
