So I got my bars in today. I was a bit skeptical since it’s from eBay, they claimed great quality and easy internal wiring. I figured with buyer protection and free returns, why not?! I must say...I’M IMPRESSED! Not only did I save $100+ but the internals are clean! Burr free

the powder coating looks pretty good like it will last, knurled, notched, clean welds...now just waiting on cables for me to install.

I was looking at those too!

the hd upper clutch cables are back ordered till end of March 👎🏼 And I really don’t want to go back to old style cable and having to remove the stupid transmission cover. Looking in to burly kit, from the pictures it looks like they’re compatible. Do u know if they are?
