Want to buy chrome levers for my girlfriend's 97 Heritage for christmas. The Harley ones are $99. Anyone buy some from E-bay? I see some for around $30.00. Wondering what the quality would be like.

 

Unless Harley's are 'billet' they aren't worth anymore than the $30 ones. My brother runs a set he got for $30 on the internet and they have been just fine.

 

I've had both sets in the past... On my $30.00 e-bay levers they were thicker and wider than the $99.00 HD levers. Also on the $30.00 levers the levers end ***** were different sizes. I think the cheaper levers were made by Custom Chrome. The HD levers the end ***** were smaller and even.

Make sure to get the correct levers for your year bike. Newer bikes have safety switches in your controls.

 

kuryakyn are great and give easier pull due to the curves

 

I bought a set of 'Custom Chrome' levers off ebay to use while I sent my originals to have IronBraids installed.

I sold them here after I got my originals back.

I wouldn't have had any problem keeping them on my bike. I don't think theres $60 difference in them and the HD brand.

Buy the 'Custom Chrome' brand they'll do fine for you.

 

I bought mine from HCC off of ebay. Seem pretty decent so far.

 

I just installed Custom Chrome levers on mine and they are thicker then the original HD levers, not bad levers at all.

 

Check out Drag Specialties chrome levers. Their's only $30 to $35 and a lot of harley dealers sell them.

 

I have the kuryakyn chrome levers that come with the Electro magnetic throttle lock and they seem to be better chromed than some other product from Kurykayn. Once in a whie i have to clean the areas i don't usually touch because they build up a "grey" matter that can be polishes off. Nice wide flaired out blade that is real comfortable and much better than the HD OEM. The are a bit more expensive at I think about $79 but I have experienced that many times the cheaper chrome items are not chromed multiple times and in the long run can pit and discolor. I usually bite the bullet and get an item with chrome which is better for me in the long run.

 

My first set of chrome controls were made by "Custom Chrome" ($139). The levers were mis-matched and the ***** were different sized. The screws also rusted. Very cheaply made. I wouldn't buy again. I ended up buying the HD ($99) levers to match it up.

I then purchased the "Drag Specialties" ($249) chrome controls. Much better made. Levers matched perfectly. And no rusting. Very well made for the price. I would purchase again.
