Default new bars

Got them a couple weeks ago but had to clean it up before taking pictures. They're Wild One 14" Outlawz with 1.5" risers. I was on the fence about getting the black ones but figured I could always get them powder coated later. My buddy is gonna powder coat them gloss black this winter and I'm going to step up to 2" risers.

Nice.

I actually prefer black over chrome but in the case of your motorcycle I think the bars are just right in chrome. It's your sled and definitely go with what you like but I really dig how they look now.

Very nice!

What kind of tailight are you running? Was it plug n play? I like how it fills the whole rear fender.

I would suggest staying chrome, go good with your forks, I think black would look out of place unless you pc the trees black also.

I was planning on painting the dash gloss black and getting the lower fork legs and fender struts PC gloss black. The only parts staying chrome are the primary cover, engine parts and triple trees....that was the plan anyway

ghoticov: it's a generic fat bob fender taillight I got off Ebay, it's not plug and play, have to wire it yourself

Nice - welcome to the Outlawz club


Bit of advice (if you dont mind lol) If you are going to black out your lowers and fender struts along wit the bars then do your trees at the same time. It will "flow" much better.

oh ya - and lower that rear
