Default Can someone tell me what I'm talking about?

I need help with a brand name of aftermarket items. I saw a display of them in the J&P store and Harley store down in Ormond over the weekend. Really slick looking stuff. It looks like aluminum with a bunch of holes drilled all over it. They had everything with this same look. Grip, pegs, shifters, linkages, levers, floorboards etc. All in this matching look. Kinda pricey but the stuff looked really cool.

That's it. Thanks. Any of you guys using this stuff. It has a very custom look to it that I like.

Well, the spelling must be way off cause I can't anythign to come up when I do an e-search

Try Batistini, I think that is how it's spelled. Try under Arlen Ness, also.

Found it. Thanks. It's spelled Battistini. I love this stuff. The grips though look like they'd pretty much force you to wear gloves. I think this stuff would look sick on my bike.

I found this pic on another thread. I so want this stuff. Anyone know of any less expensive copy cats out there?

Is there a difference between the Battistini brand name and the Arlen Ness brand name version?
