Grips and levers?
I just got my new bars (from the Dr.) and now I'm shopping for new grips and levers. I'm gonna chrome out the stock black controls with the Harley chrome kit. http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...1&default=none
Lets see some pics of the grips folks are running.
Any recommendations would be helpful.
Also, anyone running the chrome control kit (above), did you go with the chrome switch caps or leave them black?
Thanks all

I run black buttons with chrome housings and controls. I like a bit of contrast with the buttons. The PM grips are really nice. No pics. It's been a long day and I can't find them.

I am also running PM Rethnal Grips.Top Quality and you can replace the rubber when it wears out.Another thing I like about them is they are not too big.You can fit your hands around them comfortably and they seem to give you great control and feel of the bike.I am also running the chrome controls with black switches.I may change to the chrome switches though as I like the look.

I just replaced mine with some solid chrome ones and love the look of them on the bars. My bars have rounded edges but yours are sharp bends so I would go with a pointed end grip.
These are Thunder Cycle grips BTW.

This is an excellent thread, May I ask you peeps what would be the best recommended 'levers' to minimize effort specially in clutch ? I understand some levers affect the effort of clutch and braking significantly but could not find detailed info on that ?
