Default Could use some opinions on bars (FLTRX).....

I have looked at everything and even made a purchase and still can't make up my mind. I ordered some RSD Gliders and I thought the welds on the holed arches in the bend looked like crap. Not sure why they don't grind them down before chroming. Seen so many PYO bars that I am getting sick of them. BR customs has a nice wave 2 bar they make in 1 1/2in. I'm looking for something that doesn't need a cable swap which is why I picked up the RSd bars at first.

Another thing, I'm going with black upper and chrome lower forks. So, black or chrome bars? I like a good contrast in my bikes. Just looking for some opinions and advice. You can see what I am working with in the sig pic.

I have Carlini Bag Drags, really comfortable and good looking, IMO, and no cable or wire changes, also they are 1-1/2" so they can be internally wired.

Thanks man, hadn't seen those before. I like them. I haven't been on here for a while, but I remember your bike. Looking even better.

Pulled the trigger on some 1 1/2in BR customs new wave bars. Went with gloss black pc and a 10 in rise. Those guys are awesome to deal with. It's going to a long 4-6 weeks waiting.....
