The chrome buttons are NOT lick and stick, nor are they taped. They are replacement buttons for the black ones. I know cause I just installed them today. Black housing, chrome buttons. If money is the issue, chrome buttons are around $20 bucks, chrome housings are $150 bucks. Either way it's whatever you like!

 

chrome housings black switches

 

It's personal opinion but I like matching...all chrome for me...black/chrome mix just looks unfinished...JMO

 

We have black powder coated housings with chrome switches and master cylinder cap.
What ever trips your trigger. Your bike; your money.

 

has any any body had the buttons on long enough to know how they hold up?

 

Here is my setup on my 08 Road King

 

I took the chrome buttoms back this week and traded them in for the chrome housings...damn this forum!!!

Now...how difficult is it to change the housings out??? I looked at the switches and got alittle nervous with all of the little springs...that's why I still had them in the box. Hopefully the housings won't be as bad!!???

All chrome is where it is at! Make it shine!!!

 

Here's mine. I chose to keep the buttons black.
