Default Forward Controls For Street Bob... Chrome?

I am having the dealer install my forward controls tomorrow and am wondering if the lever part of them will be chromed out of black? I found this photo of forward controls for the Dyna series on the H-D website where they are chromed. Then I found this item which is for upgraded the "stock black forward controls".

I think some models come with forward controls by default and those may be black. Anyone know what the upgrade for the bobber looks like? The reason I am asking is because I am about to buy some pegs to go on them and need to know if I have to upgrade to chrome levers too.

Thanks.

I had them installed. The back brake control arm is black. The foot shifter contol arm is crome.There are many to choose from. They use your mid control shift peg also. I upraded to the aileron shift peg, brake arm and foot rests so they would match the grips.

They are just as pictured in the full forward control kit. The first link. Only thing black is the brake linkage.

Awesome... then all I need to buy are some better pegs and the strap thing that hangs down to rest my heel on. I can't wait to get these on tomorrow... I almost feel like I am riding a scooter with the mid controls since I've got kind of long legs.
