Default Hand Control Levers

I'm wanting to replace the stock hand control levers on my 2012 Softail with chrome. Any other options other than HD and kuryakyn?

How hard of job is it? Simple off with the old and back on with the new?

it's pretty easy of a job..just becareful with the brake lever with the button on the master cylinder that activates your brake lines.. they say it's easily breakable, but i haven't broken one yet (being careful, of course).

My buddy broke his brake light switch button. It sucks if it breaks!!!! Dont break it lol. I belive newer bikes also have one on the clutch side to allow the bike to start in gear with the clutch in.

Shim the brake lever with a 4mm piece of paper to protect the brake switch.

Loosen the clutch cable adjustment to give enough free play to remove and replace the clutch lever.

These are what I have on my bike.



Expensive as hell but I wanted something different and every other lever seemed to look like the same-old same-old. They have a number of different styles...these are the Torments.
