Default Lever replacement question

Hi guys, I'm planning on replacing my stock levers on my 08 Ultra with black versions. I have two choices in mind from a supplier here in Canada.
Drag specialities @ $77.95 or Biker's choice @ $47.07.
Both are same as oem only black versions.
Have anyone bought either one of these and what makes the DS one better?
HD lists them for $120 plus tx.

check the forums classifieds too.

and amazon,

I have found amazon a great way to ship stuff to Family members in Canada- the stuff seems to clear in Burlington, ON and moves fast- the charges are reasonable too.

also- got manual?

many models require caution to prevent breaking brake light switch when changing controls- check manual

I would not go by price to determine one is better than the other, since most likely they are all made in same country and not the USA.

Powder coating is not an option where I live.
The Drag Specialities levers say they are made in USA.
HD set is $128.95 +tx probably made in same place also.

Since it's winter where you are, you've got some time to fiddle. So don't rule out Plastidip with glossifier. I've Plastidipped a bunch of stuff. It's great, durable, and you can remove it if you don't like it.

I would look on eBay. I bought a set on there for around $30.00.

Problem with ebay is shipping, duty and taxes usually cost more than the part. I can get them at Fort9 here in Canada, they have the best $$ on most everything and free shipping over $49.
