Chrome switch covers? FLSTC
I am thinking about getting the chrome covers that bolt over the existing black switches. Wondered if anyone might like to provide an opinion of how these look? Many are offered all over eBay, but if I go with the covers I would like to know which brand seems to look the best: Kury, HD, others? Thanks. All comments welcome. If people don't think they look good I would like to hear that too.

I have black Apes with chrome switch housing and black switches. I like the look. But it depends on you really. I am not a flashy chrome guy so I dont have alot of it on my bike. My Bones is black with a little chrome here and there. here is a pic, sorry it doesnt show the switches

Covers, not the buttons
Want to keep the black buttons. Would like advice on the covers that merely adapt to the guts inside. Thanks.

If you buy just the covers that go OVER the original covers, you'll still have a black front brake master cylinder and clutch lever attach point. My opinion is that this looks tacky. Get the entire replacement, not just the covers. More $$ this way, but no black will be showing except for the buttons.

This is the reason I stayed with the black housings and went with the chrome buttons. Good contrast, looks good (IMO).
