Default CHROME control buttons

I am changing out the handlebar control buttons
to CHROME, as CHROME is good for the soul,IMO.

I am sticking with the black housings as I like the
contrast of black/chrome and feel it will complement
the heated Aileron grips, and the clutch/brake housings
are black and I am gonna stay that way.

I have the right side installed and gonna head out to
the garage and do the left side shorthly and just wanted
say that those plastic caps can be a bit of a pain to snap
off and on without wanting to go "stupid" on them as
well as holding the spring just right for installation.

All in all gonna like it, just wanted to share a descrition,
and yes I will post some finished pics in a bit.

I've done quite a few, and those caps always come off easier than they go on.

Heat em up with a hair dryer for a while and they are easier to work with....... still a pain..... but easier.

I love the contrast also. My whole bike is chrome/black contrast on the engine, etc.
