Chome Switch Housings
I am looking to replace the stock switch housing and master cylinder to chrome. I am looking at $160 for the two from Kuryakyn and about $500 for them from Harley. The parts department at Harley said the Harley parts were better and the Kuryakyn parts peeled after awhile. Is this true. If you own either, I would like to get your opinion of them.
I bought the Cap Switch covers today from Harley, just need to complete the set.

i got the entire set from Harley, switches and master cylinders and so far no complaints. the chrome is outstanding. i would think you would have to be weary of the chrome job on the Kuryakyn parts (being that they are selling so cheap).
anyways, i've had mine for a while and no complaints.

That's a great question. I haven't heard any complaints about Kuryakyn chrome. I have their fold down luggage rack and it seems to be of good quality.

In my experience, Kuryakyn has been around for a long time and it's pretty quality stuff. I've had Kuryakyn chrome on plenty of bikes throughout the years and I've never been dissapointed.

Bought the Harley chrome switch housings about 2 yrs. ago from local stealer. No issues, very nice product. Just went with the chrome master cylinder covers though, didnt want to over do the chrome. A little bit of chrome here and there looks nice, to much to tacky. To each his own i guess, just my 2 cents.
