i can respect that but look at the hassle now, a sharpie would have been zero hassle, and did you see the pic? not what i'd call scratched up - but they aint mine and it wasn't my money!

i bought a pair of WCTBs myself last year, went over them carefully and noticed that the dimples/holes for wiring had a couple burrs that would have cut the wires (they cut my finger, that's how i found out)... well, 3 minutes with a file and it was all good! sometimes it's easier to make a quick fix yourself...

anyhoo - hope you get them soon, you'll love them I'm sure

I only paid $90 for my Burly 14" apes and I went over them with a fine tooth comb as soon as they arrived and you better believe I would've had them replaced if they were scratched up or dinged.

I agree, what a hassle it's become but that isn't his fault. He received $300 bars with a chip in the powder coat. A sharpie is one of those 50/50 fixes. Looks good at 50 ft or 50 mph. I've used a sharpie to mask small dings and after it dries it takes on a purple hue that is often glaringly obvious in the daylight.

I'm sure West Coast Tbars will make it right, they seem to have a rather large following on the Facebook Dyna pages with lots of satisfied customers.

I’ve just ordered 18” apes from them...cheap as chips only $88USD. Then I found this thread! I hope they aren’t total crap. On the upside they emailed me a tracking number 20 minutes after I placed the order.
