You can use the other ones and plug the throttle/idle holes. I believe others here on the forum used them.

 

I'm wanting to do mine too with the bar swap. Looks like some good deals on ebay. I assume they are not HD switch housings.

Have you had a problem or heard of a problem with some after market switch housings? If so what? I like to save money and have used after market accessories on many occassions, but I don't want no junk.

 

I got mine from KC International. (The "International" part should tell you they're probably from China.) My husband & I installed them. He's a former machinist & showed me where the casting job was a bit sloppy. There was flash (casting residue) along some of the seams that needed a tad of grinding to let the buttons fit properly. It wasn't the end of the world though & the touched up parts were invisible.
It just took a little extra time on a job that already took a whole day.
They cost me $40.00.

 

talked to the guy thats going to do the work, he told me a chrome exchange is a bit cheapper ...but didnt have a price yet

 

Could you post a pic or two of your black controls with chrome switches?

 

There are no aftermarket available as yet for the 08's 09's, and believe me I looked hard, my Drag rep says maybe by mid Nov. No problem on the 07's, lots of folks making them.

 

Got mine from HD back in 2000, and they are still pristine, 70K later. I'd recommend them, unless they've outsourced now to China.

 

I purchased Custom Chrome chrome controls (housings, mc reservoir, clutch perch, levers, etc.) from Eastern Performance Cycles for $120 three years/50K miles ago and they look great, still. I did rebuild the master cylinder this summer--I think the kit cost $120.
