Default Looking for Chrome levers for 2012 Softail



Would anybody know where I could find these levers that fit a 2012 Softail Deluxe? I found these at: http://www.debrix.com/Skull-Contour-...26-2172-vt.htm

They are for a 1972 - 1981 Harley and I emailed them asking if they had ones for my bike. They do not.

I found a lot of levers that the skull faces 90 degrees from the levers facing the front of the bike. I'm liking the look of the skulls facing out to the sides.

After doing a lot of searching, I thought I'd see if any of you have seen this style. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Would anyone know if these should fit the 2012? What would change in the manufacturing of the levers from year to year?

Not sure if this will help you or not. The Skullman has caps you can epoxy to your current levers, not bad looking if this is what you want.

Thank you all very much. I have found tons of the levers with the skulls facing forward of the bike(90 degree to the levers). I have only found one that the skulls face straight out to the sides as in the picture in the original post.

Unfortunately, I really like the look of the one that it appears I can't seem to find that fit my bike. I really hate it when that happens.

I know it isn't a huge deal, but in a way it is, when I'm trying for a look that is really me. The ones (as it happens to be of course) that I really like the most of what I've seen, really call out to me...and I'm trying like the dickens to get, with little hope it seems. I guess another way to try to explain it is...I like the look of the levers with the skulls facing forward....and LOVE the look of the ones facing straight out sideways.

Again, I really do appreciate the responses...I can see you guys are trying to help.
