That's a good idea.

The look of the blackline just didn't do anything for me. But I think it looks great with those bars.

thanks to everyone for the comments, I got them welded up and primed today. hopefully get them painted next week and they'll be good to go. I also ordered some magnum cables today too. The bars are keyed into the triple tree and are very solid when bolted to the bike. The angle of the bars fits me really well im very happy with the way its coming out so far. I think it staying two individual bars but being a RSD set of bars will make people think twice when they see my bike and realize that it is a blackline. heres how it looks in primer.
