Thanks for the pics Texas Fatboy and others. Black levers is the way to go with black bike. The chrome buttons look great also.

These bars give you 2.5" more pullback than stock.

Here's the web page: http://www.wild1inc.com/orderWO575.html

I had the Harley Shop do it and yes they changed the clutch and brake cables....and added wiring to I think.

The seat is a Harley-Davidson Pillow Look seat that I had a local upholster recover it because I didn't like the buttons on it. But it is a mucho comfy seat. A lot better even than the Sundowner I had.

The original seat look:

Thanks, Texas, for the info. I like those bars. And it just so happens that I have the button seat you had also. Mine has a couple rips in it (long story, lol) so maybe I should just have mine redone. Can I ask how much they charged you to redo your seat? Thanks again!

He also recovered my stock seat, but I haven't taken pictures of it yet. Same style and materials for both seats.

I was chrome crazy on my old fatboy I sold, so now I'm trying the black thing little by little.
