I posted about this a couple weeks ago. Someone on here, (can't remember who) bought them and had to do some dremeling inside the housings to get them to work. I am going to go ahead and spend the extra cash to get the HD brand, but you may feel the cost savings is worth the extra work.

You shouldn't. JMHO, I like the way you incorporated black accents to your bike's look. The switch housing is something you should leave in black

Mimo.

thanks mimo, funny you mention this. I was talking with a buddy today, and have decided against powdercoating my handlebars black. I was going to powdercoat them black and chrome the controls, but now I think I will just leave the controls black (the buttons are already chrome), leave the handlebars chrome. I do have some other black accents on the way to kind of finish the look. So I am pumped. Thanks also for you input on lowering my bike. I am leaving it stock height. I don't want to bottom out, especially riding 2up.

Cool WARG,

You pulled a very unique look for that Fat Boy. Good thing not lowering you ride, I certainly miss my ridesover clowds

Stay healthy.

I had a set on my last bike that I ordered from J&P that were made my Midwest Supply and they look very good but I had to dremel the inside of the throttle switch housing. I think I paid $225 for the whole set.
