    Default Tri Axis Bars

    Amazon has the black tri axis bars for $524.99. Went to my dealer and he would match the price. But they were on back order did not know for sure when they would come in maybe a month or so. He has a set of chrome one's in the box that I can get for $645.00. What I would like to know does the sun reflect off the chrome one's and cause a blind spot. What do you think about the price and are the chrome as good as the black as far as rust. Thanks

    I'd be concerned about reflections from the chrome...
    What sort of helmet do you wear? If you've got a full-face or a modular; the chinguard might just block your vision of it...

    I went with black as well because I did not want reflections. Having said that I talked to a local guy here that said he had no issues with the chrome and reflections.

    Also $524 is not that great a deal. List is $599 (for the black).
    I got mine for $450 on Ebay brand new. There are a few dealers on there selling them for list but they have a "make offer" button on the sale ad and I made an offer for $400 and they rejected it. I made an offer for $450 and they took it.

    I had the chrome ones on my 2012 and the blinded me terribly in the Florida sun. I loved the adjustment but wished I had never gone chrome

    I have the chrome ones and I have never noticed any reflection from them.
    I have been asked this question many times and for me it hasn't been an issue at all.
    I wear a 1/2 helmet and good wrap-around sunglasses...

    As for the price $645 is a good price

    Default I have the black tri axis handlebars - they're great

    I don't know about the chrome ones in regard to reflections, but I have to say the black tri axis bars have really helped my neck and upper back pain on long trips! The stock bars were too far forward for me and a little low.

    Good luck with your decision......
    Happy and safe rydin'

    In looking on Amazon, E-Bat etc. they indicate that they are for 2013 and BEFORE. Do they fit on 2014?

    Yes they will fit.

    That's probably a result of "Old Ad Copy"...
