Ryan, correct me if I am wrong, but the only two sets I've seen delivered in "raw" were Necron and mine. For those who have forgotten, we had ours powder coated to match the Neptune Blue and they turned out flawlessly! It is a great look and several folks have commented that they look OEM. I think the Reds (9 and 12) and the 13 blue would also look great color matched.
A friend of mine is a powder coater and did these for $90 a set (front and rear), but I bet this could be done by others for a similar price.
You two were the only ones to get a raw set during the Group Buy, I believe. However, we have sold other raw sets in the past as well. Not very many of them, though. I'd say only 4 or 5 sets have gone out raw in our history of making the Connie, ST1300, and FJR accessories.
They do look spectacular, though. It doesn't surprise me that you guys have gotten tons of compliments. The bars themselves look great in my opinion and getting them color matched makes them that much better!
Mine are raw and as of yet unmounted. Been too busy with other projects. Once things calm down I'll be doing my own prep and paint, I'm wanting to color match and knowing once I have these on they will be seeing some actual use I want something easy to touch up. I may even just keep them in the raw.
Oh man! Hopefully you get them installed before, God forbid, something happens and the bike goes over. I hope I didn't just jinx you, though...
