Question New Handlebars AND Chrome Hand Control Kit??

Will be replacing my stock handlebars on my ’07 Ultra Classic and debating whether to do the HD Chrome Kit as well. Putting on the Wild 1 575’s is to cure a shoulder problem, but doing the chrome isn’t really a necessity of course. To those of you that have switched to the chrome, has it been worth it? Glad you did it? Any downsides? (other than more to polish ;-)) Trying to watch the budget a “little” bit!

I did the chrome switch covers myself a few weeks ago. PITA.
I like the look but they are not easy. Just take your time and don't get frustrated. Step away if you do start to get annoyed. It is very easy to pinch wires while you try to remove the turn signal switches. The bracket they are attached to covers most of the inside of each housing. Getting them out and back in is the hardest part. Those suckers don't want to come out very easy.

So is it worth it, sure after it is done AND if you don't screw something up......

I changed my bars, and I'm OK with the black housings. Not a big deal to me. No polishing needed. And they're "color-matched" to the bike

Polishing?
Just wipe and ride.
