They aren't stock, but they are powder coated black... 
Learning from my mistakes... again and again.

I wish I had thought to powder coat before I ran the wires thru mine... I'd have to completely un-do it to get them done! Yikes.... How do you think paint would hold up?

I painted my front end, bars, fork tubes & trees, over a year later and they still look good. Definitely cheaper way too go.

A good scouring with 600 grit paper to set a "tooth" to hold the paint and it will hold up very well.
Black bars are a nice statement and these look great.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
