clutch lever question

I'm wanting to put a soft brake clutch lever on my 2018 RGU. Soft brake requires a core lever return of either black or polished( no chrome). I can't tell if the stock lever is chrome or polished. Seems silly but I can't tell. Anyone know for sure?

I put a soft brake lever on my 17 RGS - The shorter pull in is nice.
No issues with starting in gear although I never do.
Worth the money spent.

I have seen that changing to a lighter spring with the soft brake lever is a great combination.
