I have had 2 sets of 1.5 bars on my bike and they look decent. The 1.5 diameter matches the fork tubes.

JMO. But I think they look bulky.

I like the look of 1.5" with the Fat Boy. It's all subjective though, so go with what you like best.

I have no experience with that brand, but the posts above make it sound like it's worth saving up a little longer for something nicer.

Best figure on $100 for coating, plus the cost of the bars, you could've just gotten Carlini’s and been done with it. Wasnt option for me becasue the 1.5” Carlinis wont work with a hydraulic clutch. Buyer beware

I also looked at the Carlini website and it says exactly as above which I don't quite understand why coz I converted my cable clutch to hydraulic. And it's not only me who did the hydraulic route to cleanup my 1.5 bars.

IMO the only bars that look right are the 1.5s, everything else looks puny and out of scale. Thickness is important, ask around.. lol
