Default Road Glide Bars - Again

I was looking in the new American Bagger Mag and I saw an add for Hells Foundry. http://www.hellsfoundry.com/

I saw this set of bars: http://secure.netsolhost.com/177731....tegory_Code=P7

There are 1.25" drilled but they say they are stainless, can someone tell me the difference between the look of Stainless and Chromed.

Thanks,

Chrome is just a little bit shinier

Dang that place is proud of their stuff! I like the chrome gauge holder, which is plastic, 199.00 + you have to send them yours. Those bars are nice but IMO not worth that much money. I use stock chrome heritage bars and they work great. 50.00 at the dealer.

I was thinking the same thing about the price, but I was not sure if the Stainless was making it worth that much. Sounds like I want to stick with Chrome.

If you want stainless, all stock harley bars are stainless steel or you can get them in chrome for a few more bucks.

That answers my question, I did not know the stock ones are stainless. I see I can get my stock bars chromed for like $50, my bike hass some other bars on it and they are not comfortable to me. I sat on a new one at the dealer and I liked the stock bars, I might as well spend a few extra $'s to get them in chrome.

Thanks,

I was looking at the bars at Hells Foundry as well. I liked the fact that they were the same as stock except for being fatter and drilled for internal wiring but I think $190.00 for a set of plain old stainless bars is way out of line.

To spend that kind of $$$ go with Wild'1s if you want close to stock look at the 513's - super cool - I have both the 513's and the 517's for my RG - I will keep them both - right now I am running the 517's - better reach for me - but I really do like the look of the 513's ?? Choices??????????????

The 513's are pretty much like stock RG bars, No? (81/2 inch mini apes). I think the 515's (10 inch) would have a little more attitude and still be useable for aggresive riding of the twisties. JMHO

I just added Wild 1's WO 504 to 2007 Road Glide. I am 6'1". They look and feel awsome and work with stock cables. They give a very nice low profile look.
