Default Krome Werks Apehanger

I've been searching for a set of apes for my 06 FX springer (pain) Krome Werks has a set of 16" with the dimensions that I'm looking for. My only concern is the quality...will they hold up, can they be drilled for internal wiring, are they so thin that I will get crazy vibration? I'm not opposed to spending $ for quality, but no one else seems to have these specs...specifically center width and pullback.

Does anyone have experience with KW apes?

I know Chazmanian (RIP) had 12" Krome Werks he had drilled himself and he had no problems and loved them. Also, Burly Brand makes a set of 16s with similar dimensions that are pre-drilled if you're lazy like me and don't want to deal with getting all the burs sanded down.

A friend of mine has Burly's and the chrome turned to crap. We ride by the beach a lot, I am not sure if that is the reason, but it was a hassle for him as he is waiting on a replacement set.

That's a bummer. Thanks for the heads up. I'd go with the black ones myself, anyhoot.
