Default 05 Deluxe - Chrome Switch Housings

I want to chrome the hand controls on my deluxe. Chrome switch housings are 139.00 from HD or 73.00 from Kuryakyn. Are the "genuine HD parts" worth the extra ##. Also I'll eventually want to repalace the front master cylinder with chrome and kuryakyn does not make one, only a chrome cover. So if i go with the kuryakyn switch covers, will they fit with th HD master cylinder?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have the same question. I wonder about the quality of the Kuryakyn and do you have to use their switch covers.

I don't think the HD are worth the extra, but I really don't like the Kuryakyn chrome either. The Drag Specialties ones are just as good and maybe a little cheaper yet. I really don't like Kury stuff at all. You won't find one piece of it on my bike. Gaudy garbage!
