Default Handlebars in general?

I really want these $246:
http://www.shopzanottimotor.com/shop...;catalogId=643
(16" ****** F*ers)

but powdercoated black, but the price is kinda steep for my situation right now.

but as a replacement I found these for $138:
http://www.shopzanottimotor.com/shop...p;catalogId=12
(16 " Apes)

My question is, is there something wrong with these cheeper bars that i should watch out for. Is the material not as good as other brands? Will some bars vibrate more than others? Anybody have issues with cheeper price bars?

thanks in advance.

I say wait until you can get exactly what you want, otherwise you won't be completely satisfied. JMHO...

check out www.brcustomcycles.com, they have all kinds of wild handlebars and will ship them in raw metal. You can have them powedercoated locally and save some cash. They will powdercoat, but they charge more than the local shops where I live, so I would just have a local place do it for you.

If you want to wire your handle bars internally watch out for those Z bars, they are really a pain in the a$$ to get the wires through because of the hard bends. My buddy got some Z bars for his sportster, they came with a string in them to get the wire though them but we couldnt do it. we tried for hours.
