    I would not risk using those bars.

    Agreed – paint failure indicates flexing of the bonded fairing over the cable channel. I’d toss them in the trash.

    There are some things that can break on a bike and you’ll be fine; handlebars are not one of them.

    Even if they never break, you’ll always be worried about it, and there’s no fun in that.
