Agree with Jay, if you look up the park # these are OEM chrome sliders which would explain the reflectors. I think you bought yourself some chrome sliders.

they are Genuine HD lowers that were just chromed by Pacific Chrome Services in California, and come with the same 1 year warranty that Harleys lowers come with...that price is shipped to your door...in the continental US

I just installed new Harley chrome lowers last week, reflectors in the box like mentioned but not on the lowers. You have to add onto the forks yourself. From the pics you posted and the lack of knowledge from the seller I would say it's good you used paypal because your going to want to get your money back!

The "part number" that you're researching belongs to the chrome sliders that are on the ORIGINAL purchasers bike.

The sliders you are looking at are the TAKE OFFS that were stored in that box that originally did indeed have CHROME sliders in it, but they're now long gone. They are not the ones that the op bought, which are clearly stock "BRUSHED" aluminum.

Stiggy thanks for correcting my misinformation. I'm on my phone today and didn't pay close enough attention. Sorry OP.

Fasch I've recently received quotes of $70 to $80 per side for the lowers or you may want to check out willyshinny.com, and just do an exchange for about $175 for both sides. If you want chrome that is.

Thanks! ill look into it, im thinking of going to black sliders, do a black and yellow theme. does the black sliders hold up to bugs and rocks and such? or will they just get all chipped up and make me mad?
