I've got the chrome switches in the garage...just haven't taken the time to put them on. I like the contrast too, but after looking at the chrome housing with black switches...I like it better. Fixing to take the switches back!

Late,

I really wish you guys would hurry up and make up MY mind. You just have me confused now. I like the chrome/black switch and the black/chrome switch. I'm going to do one of them, I just need to know how much money to rat hole.

I've only looked at (not installed) the chrome switches. Aren't the chrome switches just covers for the black switches or are they actually replacement switches?

You aint kiddin.....I know I spent $800.00 before it was all over. Chrome housings, levers, master cylinder......and then the fun of taking appart those switches and getting them back into the new housings correctly.....

and I did it all myself and it was still real close to $800.00....
