 :useless Lol if they're Renthals which seem most common then they are anodised.


If originals you can quickly check some of these things
[size=78%] slip off the throttle or left switch controls there will be a small hole in the bars maybe 4mm? to keep the controls fixed firm [/size]
[/size][size=78%]lift one of the brackets mounting it to the yolk risers and it will have notches cut into it for grip[/size]
[/size][size=78%]If you remove one of the bar ends it will look like the thread in the bars is an insert which is welded in [/size]
[/size][size=78%]There is also a number stamped on the bars at the clutch grip end although this is impractical to view[/size]
[/size][size=78%]There is likely a dot punched into the bars as a marker near the mounting point with the risers [/size]

Sorry, all I am trying to say is, on a 2004 model (1C2) were the original handlebars of a silver painted appearance from new.

Strangely enough, I have silver-painted ones on my 2005 lava red model, and have often wondered the same. They seem to be the same shape as black chrome/finish ones I've had on all previous ones.

Apparently they came like that. I asked that question when son bought the 1000 I have now and the original owner said they came like that as he had bought the bike new and had only ever put a givi rack and top box on it.
