TCMT 1-1/4" 18" Devil APE Black Handlebars for Harley Touring CVO Street Glide Tri Glide Electra Glide 1982-2023 - Perfect for Custom Motorcycle Upgrades & Long-Distance Cruising

2010 FLHTCBlack barsBars arrived about a week ahead of the estimation I was given. They came well packaged, the full length wrapped up in good foam padding and taped securely. The black bars are a matte black, not sure what kind of paint/coating they use, but be careful removing the packaging because it does scratch fairly easily. They're heavy and feel solid, center knurling looks good and the right side comes slotted for throttle by wire sensor that fits just a tiny bit too snug with my sensor, but I fixed it by very gently filing the plastic edges of my sensor that fit into the slots. The welds aren't quite as pretty as much more expensive bars, but I'm fine with that. I pulled a boot lace through both sides to come out through the middle, and I pulled it back and forth to see if I could feel it hanging up on any internal burrs at the welds. The laces moved through the bars as smoothly as they could on bars with a 90 degree bend. Note: that bend is a huge pain to pull wires through, but that's the nature of the beast and I'll admit freely that I'm not always the brightest crayon in the shed. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase and I'm really pleased with the quality of these bars. The bars get 5 stars. I knocked a star off because after I had placed my order and before it had shipped, I had contacted the seller about switching to the chrome version of the bars and never got a response. The black ones shipped anyway, and i like them and don't plan on sending them back, but I avoid sellers that don't answer messages. So for that they lose a star (and the $20 extra they would have got if they would have let me change to the more expensive chrome bars)
