hey guys getting ready for a change to my 2010 fb lo bars, damne you back ache!, i like the moco black streetslammer bars, from surdyke $240, not bad, question is, is it worth it to pay for factory handlebars. ebay is flooded from $50 to $200 in aftermarket bars, demon, bk, etc. Im a big aftermarket guy but with something as vital as handlebars im up in the air, i was hoping for input, thanks

 

I went with custom made to my measurements.
Bars that fit me and don't look like just another in a crowd.

 

I try to stick with OEM, as long as there isn't too much of a price penalty, or a quality penalty.

Sometimes, OEM quality is better. On my scoot, for instance, replacement bars that I'm interested in are stainless rather than chromed, and still cheaper than most aftermarket bars.

 

thanks for responses, custom bars are out of the price range, leaning towards moco streetslammer bars, but if i can get nice bars for $100 im all for it, all input is appreciated

 

IMO, most of the MoCo stuff is just too "vanilla". Seems like they make stuff to appeal to everyone, but not be truly special in any way. I'd go aftermarket, so many options out there, and a lot in the $200-300 range. Spend some time lookin before you settle on the plain Jane MoCo stuff.

 

OEM is not the best quality that is for sure, I have Carlini bars and they are made to way better quality (thicker, and better chrome) thyan any OEM bar I have ever seen....

 

big desicions thanks for response, was at the dealer other day, bike had set of good size apes, im not an ape guy, but they sure did feel much nicer than expected. i wouldnt want to shell out money for all new wires. still sticking to pullback drags, what i read 6" pullback drags can be done with all stock
