need a deal on chrome switch housings
#21
A couple of months ago I noticed they started selling triple chromed genuine Harley take-offs- namely hand controls with or without the clutch perch and/ or cylinder. I bought a full set from them- waiting for some temperatures over 30 degrees so I can install them. THe prices are reasonable, they have a phone number and they are great guys to work with:

I've done both switch housings & buttons on a couple of bikes. I've used the Kury's & the HD's, and have done the installs on bikes with & without the extra radio switches.
Here's what I've found:
1) The switch housing I purchased from HD didn't have a hole drilled for what my manual referred to as a "clutch isolation switch" or something like that, so I had to drill it when putting the guts back in. Furthermore, the bottom holes for mounting the switch internals were not tapped. That was a real load of fun. I had no problems whatsoever with the Kury's.
2) The brackets for the chrome master cylinder & clutch lever are a different story: Pros for Kury: they come with chrome bolts, while the HD ones do not, and are a separate purchase (bastards). Cons for Kury - the brackets for the clutch & master are not grooved enough, and may/will pinch your wiring harness, while the HD ones will not.
3) Installing the chrome switches is easy if you are patient. You can use a small flathead screwdriver to remove the old switches - DO NOT USE IT TO INSTALL THE CHROME ONES. They don't flex, and will shatter immediately. Follow the instructions, and it's fairly easy to get the knack.
4) It is a trying ordeal to install the chrome switches in the chrome housings on bikes with radio & cruise. You kind of have to piece everything together, and put it all in at once. If you try installing the radio internals, bolting them down, and then installing the top switches, it won't work. The chrome signal light switch gets stuck. I would suggest definately a magnetic screwdriver to install the internals. It really helps. Also, once you install the radio internals, I used needle nose pliers to gently manouvre the internals into their correct positions.
Finally, I also see now that Kury offers chrome switch housings that fit over your existing housings, provided you buy their chrome clutch & master cylinder covers.
I have no info or experience to offer on this new product. However, I have installed the clutch & master covers on my Deuce. They look really nice and burly, the chrome is good, and the install went well. However, you have to take your mirror off to remove your cover if you want to bleed your brakes. PITA. Otherwise, it's pretty good.
Just my 2 cents.

I found Hill Country Custom Cycles thru the HDForums and have done some business with them. They were introduced to me as the cable guys if you needed + cables but you were not sure how much +. THey know thier $hit. THey sell fully configured bars- wired with switches and cabled....or just the bars and controls...or just the cables...what ever brand you want...or just what ever you need. THey will customize your order...they rock!

i ended up with the Kury chrome switch housing, chrome levers, and iso grips on wild 1 chubbie w0515 mini -apes. i left the switches black, looks good with the black/chrome combo of all the parts. seems Kury hasent came out with a chrome perch for the levers or a brake resivoir cover for the 08s yet, if they do ill change those too

HD and chrome housings?
"HD told me that they did not have chrome housings out for 08 and 09 fly by wire systems. I had them on my list to add prior to pickup and had to postpone until later" (from earlier quote)
This seems wierd to me.........I put HD chrome housings on my 08 RKC keeping the black switches for contrast.
