Default Drag Specialties handlebar control kit

I want chrome controls on my 2007 super glide custom. Has anyone went with the drag specialties handlebar control kit on their bike? It is quite a little cheaper than harley, but if if it good quality then that looks like the way to go.

thanks.

Its a Chinese piece of crap and you'll have a 50/50 chance that the master cylinder will work.

I have them and before I bought them I asked senior riders who have logged over 40k miles on them with no issues. Since then I have logged 10k miles on mine with nothing but good things to say about them. I got mine for 155 bux without switches at the local HD Dealer. They are tight, and have a firm brake feel compared to the stockers and I sold the stock black ones for 85 bux on ebay. I live at the beach where cheap chrome rusts quickly and have had no issues,plus they dont leak like the HD controls did. I say go for it.

Now those two people have differing opinions. After reading Chuckdizzle's post, I am going to stay away from them just to be on the safe side. Here's the route I'm going: Kury Switch Housings (not just the covers, but the actual housings), Kury Chrome brake and clutch control dress up kit, Kury trigger levers, harly chrome switches. I will post some pictures next week after they are installed.

Like I said, 50% of the time they work.......Some accessories you are just better off paying for quality unless you like gambling.
