I am using OEM on my bike, but have heard very good things about the quality of cheaper priced aftermarket controls. So I am considering those when I do my wife's bike.

I have been using ones from Cycle Supply for 7 years with no problems. I have installed several sets for others with no problems. They are Midwest brand and sold by many retailers. Cycle Supply has them for 129 bucks.

Wow! Cycle Supply has some good prices. Even better if you have had no complaints after 7 years. I am getting ready to change out my bars. I paid as much for my switch housings, hardware and master cylinder cover for what they want for everything. My plan is to mix it up a little Chrome and black for a little differnet look.

I bought the Drag Specialties chrome hand control kit, WAY cheaper than the HD kit and awesome quality, and fit perfect.
I also bought Kuryakyn's chrome switch housing kit, again WAY cheaper then HD, and quality chrome and fit......I paid less than half of what it would have cost me through HD. HD sells quality chrome, BUT man do you payALL the money for their stuff. !!

I have HD on my 98 Heritage. They were expensive but too late to turn back. My buddy used Kuryakyn and they look just as good. They were somewhat cheaper but not to much.
