Looks good dude. Ive had both the chrome and black switches. Currently running the blacks again, as they give more contrast. the chrome caps with the black housing looks cheap..

I'll just keep them stock for now. No seriously I like the black switches contrast to the chrome housing.
yes you need to keep some black on your bike to contrast with the chrome , otherwise you might as well just chrome the gas tank and fenders .

no , wait !
i wasn't suggesting you do that !!!


seriously the bars look great , i bet they're comfortable too , looks like they put the grips at a nice angle

I'm with BLKnCHROME on this one... the bars look great, but they don't look like Knuckle bars. I had some on my sled before the beach bars and they didn't have that much of a rise.
Width 36.5", end rise 2.0", center 10.0", pullback 8.5"

Bars look great Rock...I would not call them Knuckles but they look very comfy nonetheless. As far as switch color....can't go wrong with black or chrome. Both look great its really just personal preference. I had black on my Heritage Softail with chrome switch housings and I have chrome on my Deluxe. Its all good...

Looks great. I don't like chrome switches. The black on chrome looks good. Those chrome switches look like the teeth caps rappers ware on TV.
