Default Handlebar Chrome

Ordered wild one 575 bars for my Flhx. Was gonna order all the chrome controls from Harley till I saw the price. Anyone have any thoughts on the Custom Chrome,Arlen Ness or any other kits that are cheaper in price? Or should I pay the extra for better chrome? Appreciate any/all input......

I have all chrome, but I saved up for it. I spent well over four grand on my whole front end.

I bought a cheap set from eastern performance on ebay. Paid $150 for all the controls. It's obviously not genuine, but the chrome looks good and the controls lined up perfectly. I am happy with it

I put WO577's on my Street Glide, used all Harley chrome controls. On my Road King I bought a cheaper set from Eastern Performance. They are Custom Chrome. I had to tweak them a little, but they are ok. Just ok. If I had to do it again, I personally like the Harley controls. They are pricey, but better quality. Just my $.02....

I went with HD chrome controls all 'round. Have been very happy with it.

On my 2010 SG I put the chrome wo575 on and left the black controls and went with the Performance Machine back grips. Love the bars and grips

I have used chrome controls other than Harley on some other bikes but, did not feel they compare to the quality of HD.
