Something seems not safe about this idea. I saw a bike just like mine today with Black superbike bars and thought that would look good. Any feed back would be appreciated.

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I just had some bars powdercoated gloss black. It cost $30 and this included media blasting. You could also paint them if you wanted to. I can't think of any reason why painted bars would be a safety issue.

Mine are painted
They are knurled where they bolt on to the steering head.
I cant see any safety issues.

Painting is no big deal... at $20 for bikemaster bars might be cheaper to buy a new set though

Strange? I am getting a set of bars knurled at the moment, then i will paint them.
I didnt think it was really common, at least i know i might not be as stupid as i though!

Not sure why painted bars wouldnt be safe. If you wanted to do them yourself, Id suggest using a self etching primer first to get a good bond to the steel. If the bars are chromed, sanding with a course to fine metal sand paper first will be the thing to do.
