Well I've had a change in heart after buying Burliegh Bars Highballs in satin black, I've now go ahead with BR Customs 1 1/2" sweeping beaters. Undecided on wether gloss or satin black finish though, something so simple but hard choice to make.

Also looking at these grips. Anyone know of anything similar getting around I could look at before putting my money down on them? I like the look of the smooth version but I'd like some form of grip

I agree about using grips with a grip.
Many have later changed out their grips when they chose a totally smooth look over function.
Some sort of vibration absorption along with a textured surface go a long way in reducing fatigue for riding any distance longer than to the local bar.

Didn't think to much about the vibration fatigued problem, I was more thinking riding in the rain and trying to hang on to the bars lol

Haha nice one

How come you never ordered yours in black mike? Theyre 16" yeah? **** I wish I could go 16's, it's hard enough just riding your bike over here at the moment with out being hassled like a criminal. And how did you get that Harley Davidson print on your rear tyre, that looks trick.
