shifter/rear braker lever help
Anyone know where I can find a black billet style set other than the overpriced HD ones? Not having any luck searching and I really don't feel like forking out 2 bills for the HD.

Just make them. It's easy. Take a piece of billet aluminum and black anodize it. Then throw it in your CNC machine, program it and voila! Oh, I forgot. You don't have a piece of billet aluminim, an anodizer, the engineering specs or a CNC.
I apologize for my sarcastic tone. We don't know each other so it's clearly not personal. I just don't get how people put down the MoCo for coming up with cool **** and then complaining about the price. And then waiting for V-TWIN or some other Chinese bullshit manufacturer to steal it and sell it for half-price and at lesser quality and say "I win!"

Nope, don't have any of that crap. Fortunately, there are some good hardworking Americans that do and sell the stuff on the side for cheaper than the dealership. I don't happen to know one of those people, but I am sure someone on here does which is why I asked. Forgive me for not having a bankroll that allows me to go buy everything from the "MoCo". I apologize for my tone, but it was a dumbass reply that didn't answer my question.

If your bike is an '07 or later, the H-D Diamond Black stuff is really nice. If your bike is earlier than an '07, the brake lever's offset is different than stock. It should still work though.
I ended up with complete forward control units, which ended up working out better for me anyway, since they're out farther forward than the stock ones.

I apologize for my sarcastic tone. We don't know each other so it's clearly not personal. I just don't get how people as yourself put down anything that is not from the MoCo because it doesnt have an overused, over priced bar and shield logo on it. But hell, what do I know.

Maybe cause not everyone wants a bunch of ****** *** MoCo crap on there bike. Custom does not always mean throwing everything from the HD catalog on the bike. Dont get me wrong, I have a few things from the catalog on my bike, but as an overall, theres much better looking stuff out there and most of it is better priced....Oh yea, let me make sure this is clear...

Thanks rthomp159, I am probably going to with the black billet HD levers. Not having any luck finding anything else either.

Just modify yours and get them powdered or just spray paint them. You can cut little slits or drill holes, then there really custom.

I don't have a "winter". I was riding at 9pm last night in jeans and a hoody. Lovely California.
