Aside from this website I can't find anyone else who sells pre-blacked out tubes that I can remember.

Same website ...different address and phone number...they both take paypal...pretty hard to get ripped off, easy to get your money back if there is a problem.

Yeah when I saw this website and how it's exactly the same, that's what got me thinking it seemed real sketchy. I ordered a pair of shoes back in the day and there was a ton of other sites setup exactly the same and they were all scam websites. But I did get a response from the one website based in CA and he said it's $189 per pair and they fit softail. I might bite the bullet and see if it's legit. It just seems too good to be true because that's cheap as hell.

Dont buy from that company. I bought a set just to take the risk and they took forever to get and when i got them they were garbage. I threw them away and tossed it up as a loss.

Hey thanks for the heads up. I kinda figured it was too good to be true. That price is about half as much as it should be for a quality product. And the search continues...I think I saw a product that was black and covered the upper part of the exposed fork. I'm not sure what company was selling that. If that's my only option aside from paying a huge amount of money to DLC them then I guess I'll take it.
