Maybe it's just me but, has anyone else noticed if the handlebars on their heritage seem to have a worse chrome job compared to the rest of the parts on the bike?

I think all stock HD handlebars are either SS or black.

Hmmm maybe I just think they need to be thicker. Guess it's just me.

Their SS unless you replaced them. I bought Chrome Heritage bars for my Softail.

I found the stock bars and the ring around the speedo really stood out when you have polarized sunglasses on.
