If I may ask, would you please post up your observations and details concerning putting the chrome switches on. I don't have a whole heck of a lot of things left I can chrome, but switches are one of those things. I would like to hear what kind of a job I'm in for. Instructions only tell so much of the story. Thanks.

I thought the biggest part of the whole deal was the throttle cable, routing the wires in exactly the same path, and using a piece of cardboard to keep the front brake plunger from being engaged.
I did mine and my wife's covers and switch caps in a couple of hours. Of course, the second one was also done much faster.
If you are thinking of changing grips, change them at the same time for less work. Also, if you plan to change mirrors, you should also do it then as well.
