Default Chrome hand controls??

Besides Harley brand (to much $) who makes a good set of chrome hand controls and switch housings? I had a set from Custom Chrome but the quality was poor nothing really fit right. Any ideas?

I went with the HD ones. I've had the Custom Chrome ones on my FXSTC since 1987 and they still look great.

I got a set from KC International...I didnt have any issues on the install and the quality was good.

Had them about 3 years now and the chrome is still great. At the time it was the best price around.

The KC Internationals dont look to bad for the price. I found a chromer that will chrome all my stuff for $120, i'll just have to remove the piston out of my master cylender. Not sure what way i'll go... i sure like the fit and fuction on my OEM controls tho..

Try e mailing this guy... ricksplating@yahoo.com

Tell him what your looking for, then ask about credit for your old unplated stuff. That's how I worked mine with him. Did brake calipers as well. You can find his stuff listed on E Bay under the seller ID of rick9662.

Been so damn long I can hardly remember. I know on my calipers it was like $40 each. The switch housings may have been $20. Maybe $40 for the MC?Clutch. E mail him and see what he wants for them outside of E Bay where he won't have to pay fees. That's what I did. I bought something from him on E Bay, then got to e mailing him about other items. All my business with him after that was outside of E Bay. I was happy, and so was he.
