RE: chrome hand controls
Keep in mind if you go with the Drag control kit, the MC housing looks different from the OE Harley one. On the Drag unit there is no fluid window, and the Drag unit is more square looking. IMO the drag one looks more "billet style"custom that the HD one. If you guys want a close up pic of my controls let me know I will throw up a few pics....

The mastercylinder shape is the same. The difference is the fluid window is in the side of the MC instead of in the lid.

RE: chrome hand controls
I have the chrome controls and I got them off of Ebay. Way cheaper than HD. And HD says made in the USA but take a closer look and you will see Mexico or China some where. You are paying for the Name. I have a 93 Fatty and I bought a Master cyl repair kit from HD and it was around 25.00 bucks. When I seen them in JP Cycles catalog for 12.00 I took the HD kit back. The kit is fine. Been riding all Summer with no problem. You have to know your bike and what fits it.I am not knocking HD by no means. I had a Corvette and it was the same thing. Go in to get a part and as soon as you tell them it is for a corvette the price seem to double. I think in all, a guy has to pay attention to what he is buying. Alot of guys go to HD because they are pretty sure the part will fit and I do the same on certain stuff. But if I have a buddy that paid for something way cheaper and likes the item, hey I am looking that way too.
