I've seen the Kuryakyn and other brands of the chrome hand controls and switch housings, but none for bikes with cruise control. Does anyone make them that I'm not seeing? I've seen less expensive versions of the HD controls on eBay with cruise, but I'm questionable about they're quality as I've had two sets of them before and have not been happy. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Bill

 

U try Ebay?!

 

V-Twin offers them, and I think MidWest may as well. If you don't have any luck, PM me and I can look up some part #'s and prices for you.

 

Why not just use the HD?

 

Drag Specialties has the chrome housings listed in the "fat book" along with switch replacements in chrome for those of us with police bikes who are trying to remove the traces of thier past life.

 

Do you have websites for V-Twin and Midwest? I checked Drag Specialties and they don't have anything except the lower switch housings for radio or radio/cruise. Are the lowers the same with just the radio controls and just the cruise controls? For instance, can I get a set of lowers that say they work with radio controls and have them work with the cruise without any modification?

The main reason not to use HD is cost. I get the feeling I'm paying for that little bar and shield logo more than quality. They are very high quality like most HD parts, but the hand controls are something that I think HD really tries to get you on because you have to buy every single piece separately, and it would cost well over $500 for the clutch bracket/master cylinder, switch housings, levers, and switch caps and I know there are full sets out there with just as good of quality like the PM parts for much less. Every other piece of chrome on my bike is HD except for the handlebars, which are Wild1 Chubby bars. Same thing with them - not only do you have to buy the bars ($200), but you have to get the risers ($200) and new riser cover ($150). I spent $130 at my dealer for the Wild1 bars and installed them in 2 hours with no other parts needed. HD has great quality, but sometimes I think they try to bend their customers over a little too far on some things.

Thanks again for all the help!
