Good to know you had a great experience with them. After doing a little digging I discovered that they were given a grade of "F" by the better business bureau. Too much of a gamble for me with so many very reputable companies making quality bars. They were very responsive in answering my emails but it's after the sale that makes me nervous if there are issues.
I'm in the middle of a nightmare purchase as we speak. Your right, answered all my questions promptly but non responsive after they get your money, Ordered 12" 100% prewired Meathooks with TBW installed (In Stock) on 6-14-21 and paid an extra 53.00 for USPS 2 day Priority Mail. Later that night I received an email with a UPS ground tracking number that showed nothing until Saturday 6-19-21 with a drop-off and origin scan. I responded about the wrong shipping method both through the Website Contact Us link and through the first email communication where they answered my questions. Received nothing! Tried Facebook Message also and nothing. I sent several other emails since last Thursday 6-24-21 about UPS tracking that stopped in Horsham, PA (The hub before the final stop in Taylor PA to be loaded on a truck). Delivery was supposed to be the next day Friday 6-25-21 which was fine but they never left Horsham PA like they should have (although I still wanted a refund for the 2 day shipping I paid for since they shipped their FREE on orders over 100.00 way) I stopped at the hub in Taylor,Pa only to find out the Horsham,Pa scan was only a "Logical" scan and not an actual Scan so they have no idea where it is, nor can they help me any further. Last actual scan was the drop off place. I tried again to contact Dominator to file a claim to no avail (No phone number either BTW)
In my digging I did find out that their business runs out of a local Mom & Pop shipping store where they rent a Mailbox and dropped off my bars. NOT GOOD! I did file a dispute with my CC Company so at least I'm protected, but they seem to have a lot of issues and poor BBB reviews. Even getting down right belligerent with the customers that do get a hold of them with their mistakes.

That's a new brand for me, but they look pretty nice. And I can't argue with being made in the US either! My only hang up is that I would want 1.5" diameter bars, and it looks like they only offer a 14" height for 1.5" diameter.
I'm have Factory47 on two bikes now and have used them on another bike that I sold years ago, but they were still Buky Bars back then. Top notch for sure.
Lately though I'm kind of liking the Vindikta HoopTeeze. Gives you the MX style without loosing the gauge cluster.

When I get a Road Glide, those are the bars I really want to use.
Does anyone here have any experience dealing with these guys?

The bars look good and they're made here in the U.S.A.! I stumbled on them while searching for 16 inch apes to replace my 14's. It looks like they even have some pre-wired options.

They sell on Amazon if you're worried about defects / returns. I put their 10" on my bike (not the pre-wired ones). The wires ran though relatively easy. I didn't notice any internal burrs, didn't need to file anything down, and the finish is nice (I got black ones). They ship well protected. No issues here.
Keep in mind a guy running his little handlebar making business out of his garage isn't going to have the resources for customer service like the bigger companies. Judging by what I got, they're focused on putting out quality. Perfect instance of supporting the American small business here.

I have had great experience with them. I have a set on my RoadGlide and my neighbor bought a set of 12's fully prewired for his EGS. We installed them in 2 hours and they work great. Good company and good products.

I was super interested in them but stayed away due to some iffy reviews over the years. Price is pretty much impossible to beat especially for pre wired. And the bars IMO look good
I wanted Factory 47 but the bars I wanted were out of stock at the time.
Wound up with KST Mayhem which i haven't even installed yet.
Makes me wonder if I shoulda waited and seen if the Factory 47 ever came back in stock. oh well.

I just wasted $279 on a set of 12" Meat hook "Fat" bars. The 1" bar ends are cut at the wrong lengths. The throttle side is 1.5" short and the clutch end is 1.5" too longl I bought them from Amazon (from the Dominator Industries Seller) and missed the return window because I just got the bike out of storage and realized the issue. Can't tell by just looking at them (well now I can).... Also, the throttle end was very flared out due to TBW slots, I had to file them down considerably just to find out the end was too short anyhow.
Seller said I should try new controls and won't take them back. Absolute non-sense.

Can you do a credit card charge back?
Yeah no complaints on quality from when I looked them over. I really need to get them installed. I need to figure out what heated grips I'm gonna run first bc I might as well do it at same time. Even though it's a bit odd living in texas and shopping for heated grips as summer is around the corner. haha
