Default Opinions on these levers

Setting up my Luxe So Cal style. Got my 120 ride wright on, longtails, seat etc. Im about to start collecting parts for my bars. Gonna go with some 16" Carlini Ganster apes. Anyways, to the point, while everythings apart, of course im going to chrome everything, levers being one. I want something different than the usual plain jain chrome lever. Im looking at these http://www.aeromachmfg.com/product_p/am-9403c.htm. Anyone dealt with these people or have an opinion on what they would look like on a so cal style sled? Ill probably just order them and see what they look like.

They look nice. But I think they may cause a problem when you try to grab them quickly? Your fingers may get jammed in an emergency situation. But if you don't agree...they definetly are different.

Look good but could suck with cold weather gloves or an adrenaline grab. My first thought was that belong on a show bike, not an everyday riding bike.

Not my style but on certain bikes I think they would look ok.Not sure if they go with the So Ca Style Deluxe Them though.Think they would look better on a Rocker C or a Nightrain.Once you start too add too many skulls,daggers,spikes,brass knuckles etc.The bike starts to look more like a circus show than a tastefully done sled.IMHO. As long as you like it that is all that really matters

I wear mechanix gloves to ride in so no problems with thick gloves and the emergency situation, ill deal with. Just not totally sure bout the style. Gonna think it through first. They do look pretty pimp though.

They are unique and definitely badass looking, but I don't think they work in the style you are going for.

There are some unique levers here too. I know someone who ordered from here...I think it was the Tribal ones. They looked different and weren't as uncomfortable as I thought they'd be:
