What to know before buying

The listing calls the finish Chrome in the title and color field but also labels the finish Powder Coated. It says other versions are satin black or silver, which does not clarify the chrome option. Verify the selected finish and fit for the exact motorcycle before purchase. The listing's stated XL883 and XL1200 model years are 2004–2019.
