I'd guess Mike used a paint pen. Mike added chrome to his FXCWC at first. The increased speed scared him into to using the slower black...

Haha yeah I'm with him on that one, and my sunnies aren't strong enough to deflect all the bright shiny chrome as I ride

Oh **** **** back to the future!!

The flat black looks a treat on the rocker. Why is it rockers always go the bling route. Man if the cops weren't so bad over hear at the moment on bikers, I'd of ordered 16's too

The few jobs I've done with a spray can in surprised how well it actually turns out. Best bang for buck. You would of saved a fortune

Bam! Suckers are finally on. Found out all the wiring was about 2" short changing to these bars. They are about 3" narrower but same height then the chubby one apes, but that point on top must of some how cut it short. What a pain in the *** having to extend every wire haha

Looks great. Those gussets look like they could allow internal cables if you decided to go that route later?

Thanks Kowan.
I wish, they are just a solid plate. Thinking about getting some tidier looking hand controls now, they look **** in between the new grips and bars...where does it end

Nice vid, Mike. Thanks for making me miss riding even more.

Ink: FYI, it NEVER ends. Trust me. The new bars look great. As for controls, another option would be The Grip Ace. It hides them altogether. Check them out here: www.gripace.com
