is going to be for show...or go? The way we ride (rain/shine/hot/cold) I wouldn't care, but you paid good $$$$ for them, you should be satisfied with them. Get someone else to check them out to see just how obvious it is. (my2cents)

 

Considering the cost, they should be right. Pits in chrome can be prevented by striking the base material with copper, then nickel before the chrome even if the base material has small imperfections of its own. Considering these are surely CNC machined, I'd say the base material didn't have any flaws, probably just a crappy chrome job (unless they used S$%^ty quality aluminum which will have larger pits). If you don't take them back now, the pits will only get deeper and peeling and/or chipping can occur. It's no sweat off the dealers sack, Yami will just send them a new pair. Besides, they should've been proactive and done something about it before they were mounted. If the dealer's got a problem, show them how flawless the chrome on your bars is compared to the risers. Your bar base material is steel (better for chroming), but they won't have a leg to stand on in the argument.

 

I would expect almost flawless chrome at least from the start. How is that set up compared to stock? How tall are ya? I like the looks of that set up!

 

You determine how picky you should be! If you can't tell...they can't tell, that is of course if you are a rider. If you're a show-er, then have them redone by a pro... Yammi chrome bites.

 

i am never impressed with yamahas chrome. my chrome fender struts are far from perfect. i live with it because i ride it and sooner or later things will get messed up. like you said , if it looks good from a foot away it works for me. but it is your money and you should get what you want.

 

My tall risers are perfect, but the flat bar leaves a little to be desired...O well.

 

my tall risers are perfect as well, i would send em back. i have had my risers now for 2 years and they still are perfect except for the occasional dead bug

 

I had a set of Yamaha risers with the flat bar and they had no pitting or blemishes at all, other than normal wear and tear from riding.

 

Nowell, let me first say welcome to the 4um, since I missed out on your first posts. I too am from the central Jersey area, and have the same risers with almost straight bars. Love the look, and once the dead bugs fill in the small pits, none is noticable. So long as the pits you are talking about were pre-chroming. If you are seeing chipped chrome, take it back to Stumpy's. They should not have sold you chipping chrome, but if it is just imperfections, then only replace it if you are looking to show. Yammi-chrome is definately not the best! [/emoticons/emotion-6.gif]
Let me know if you want to get together and compare.

looks great, not sure if like my double t bars. probably try one of those setups here in a week or two.

 

My risers are pretty flawless as far as pits in the chrome go. However, I think the chrome in the three holes in the middle of the risers may be thin. It looks chrome but almost like there are hard water stains on it. I have done my best to polish it out and I am satisfied at this point. See for yourself...[/emoticons/emotion-1.gif]

Yeah you get very sick of that funny lookin white grass come March. That was taken March 21st. [xx(] Reminds me whats just around the corner. DOH!

 

Seminole---that chrome looks a little pitted from here or is it a new style diamond cut?:}:}

 

First off thanks for all the replys, Stumpy's Yamaha in NJ has been great they ordered a new set and will let me compare and choose the best ones!!

As for the chrome on the ones I have it's not peeling it is just MINOR, MINOR blemishes, but I am building a show bike (I will still ride it also!!!!!!!) I was just curious about other Warrior owners that have the same part, and the condition of thier chrome

Snyper39, I would love to get together some time and ride, I am in Freehold, NJ - PM me and I will send you my phone number

 

HANDLE BAR PROJECT FINALLY FINISHED, like I said Stumpy's Yamaha in NJ was great they ordered several different parts, let me compare and then choose the best ones!! Lets just say that Yamaha and Kuryakyn chrome is not the best, you need to look at several different peices to find the good ones. G&S 260 big tire kit next........

And by the way in person the bike looks VERY custom and handles much better with this new bar & riser setup rather than with the stock bars & risers!!!!!

 

For looks I really like that set up. Glad your dealer was good to ya! How does it compare to the stock set up???
