Default Chrome hand controls ????

I got the pipes done yesterday and now want to do the chrome hand controls. Anyone recommend who to go with? I know HD chrome is good but what about the other company's out there or just stick with HD? I saw JP has a kit as I would think most company's do. Just not sure who to go with.
Thanks

I went with factory chrome replacements, and have had no troubles.

I went with HD master cyl., clutch bracket, and switch housings. The grips, levers, and mirrors are from others.

I bought a set of aftermarket chrome off ebay. After 2 bad MC's I ordered a HD MC. No problems with the HD.

I went with the Willie G factory grips and have to say they sport the chrome with just enough rubber for an adequate amount of grip. Glad I didn't go with the full on Chrome.

I went with Kuryakan. Pretty much the same as the HD ones, but about 1/2 the price.

I went with Hawg Halters Inc controls and switches when I installed my Apes, No Logo's, no issues so far, brilliant chrome, excellent customer service if needed, I broke one of the micro switches when installing, called the company and told them what I did, and they sent me 3 spares for free.... Awesome in my mind!
