Ya mine were like $80 bucks drilled. American classic motors. I'm sure there chinese or something but, they look great. Good luck on the internal wiring they suck big time.

The RSD's are put together like a puzzle and the chance of them breaking like the american motors brand is slim. I dont understand the puzzle thing because I wont see my bars until Monday however, RSD told me that they test their bars in a very extreme manner with 0 problems. I was going with the cheapo set of bars but after reading some posts of bars breaking while riding...well lets say that I will go cheaper on something else.
