I originally started a thread in the softail section on this topic and then realized that I should have made it more broad based. So I'm also putting the question here as well:

I'm looking for a quality comparison to HD's chrome hand controls. Please give me your honest input if you have any practical experience between the two. The drag setup is less than half the price but I don't want to sacrifice quality. I will (reluctantly) pay the higher price if it means that I am really getting my money’s worth.

I think HD's quality is pretty high on most things....but so are their prices. And with much of the stuff being made offshore, they are really making a killing.

The particular Drag kit that I'm looking at (0610-0138) is roughly 260 bucks. When you add up the equivalent parts from HD, its over 580 bucks.

Thanks!

 

The part number you gave 0610-0138is for the right side only...the complete kit is around $370. I bought some Ultima controls on ebay and have been surprised at the quality of the chrome and how well it has held up.

 

i was going to put on chrome controls until i saw the price tag, nearly pooped my pants. i can live with black controls.

 

i put custom chrome ones on!they pretty good except for the allen screws, one broke of on my master cylinder cover,luckily managed to get it out and replaced them with the oem screws! they look good, and a good price!oh yeah! one of the plastic caps side clipped snapped off so you can see were i used blk oem horn swith! no biggy

 

Thanks for the reply. I did just now double check in the 2010 Drag catalog, the part number 0610-0138 is for the complete kit. Their description is a little deceiving:

"Kits without switches and mechanical clutch"

I believe what they are saying in that description is that the kit is without the switches and it’s for models with a mechanical clutch as opposed to hydraulic.

I think that the kit you are referring to is the same only it includes all switches for $370.

 

Thanks, I will check out custom chrome as well. Nice lookin scoot!
