Default Thoughts on this ape hanger kit?

I’m thinking I’ve decided on the DNA ape hangers for my 2006 Night Train. I’ve come across this Ebay deal that’s already pre-wired with the connections on them, and comes with Drag Specialties cables. I’m just not sure about the seller (chassis.shop). I’ve seen 1 comment on here that a guy got the shaft from him. Looks like he had a couple of shops that’s closed down. Grips Choppers and Altamont Customs in Toledo Ohio. But Ebay guarantee’s the sell right? Thoughts on this kit?

If ebay doesn't guarantee the sale. Paypal does.. Paypal is heavily favored towards the buyers side of things

I've used HIll Country Customs twice for my COMPLETE bars in the last 7 years.
They also have stuff on Ebay.

Those are u-u-ugly. Not to mention that welded bars have been known to snap off ocasionally.

Ebay owns PayPal, so if you have a problem with Ebay, PayPal isn't going to do any better. I personally could not buy an item like that without actually touching the product first!!

^This, and good luck getting a warranty out of them. There's better out there, take your time, spend a lil extra money, it'll be worth it in the long run, and cheaper because you won't be doing it twice.

Agreed. Ugly indeed. So many better choices out there for sure. To the OP Robreynolds.....take a look at this video before you make a final decision. The chick in the video has those bars on her NightTrain and they look like ****. They are too large of a diameter in my opinion for an FX style front fork and just look kinda off....kinda weird. Of course your opinion may vary.

The 1-1/2” size of the DNA bars is kind of why I’m looking at those. The front end on my bike is not stock. I’ll attach a picture of it. The forks on my bike are a good bit larger than the stock ones. You can see the 1-1/4” T bars look skinny on them.

Anything less than a 99% satisfaction number is a no go on Ebay. For me anyway.
