Yup, my 1995 buckhorn's were polished stainless.
So were my 1996 RK's.
As my 2016 FXDL's bar seem to be stainless also.
Sure wish most of the bike were stainless as the "ocean drift" off of the Pacific is relentless.

My '09 Ultra had stainless bars but behind the fairing you couldn't really tell.

I like the new Low Rider a lot. The only think I do not like is the dinky headlight. I am imagining that you could put a larger one on it?

It’s the same size as previous years.

I haven't seen the 2018 low rider in person but the bars look chrome in the photo. Can anyone else confirm this?

Seen it but can't remember it's an awesome looking bike and I never cared for the LR's before to be honest, it's that good.

I have one and thought they were chrome until you asked. I put a very strong Rare earth magnet to them and it doesn't stick. So I took a look with my gunsmithing magnifier. they are Highly polished stainless. You can see the buff marks under magnification.
They have a much better polish job than my 17 Road King.

Or the 2017, 2016, 2015 etc.
Every time a new model year is here, it is the end of Harley Davidson...
