Chrome housings with black switches here as well. I had to buy another set of chrome housings after I installed the cruise control. Just a thought if you don't already have cruise that you may want to add it at the sametime and not have to switch/buy them again.

Thanks a million so far, I was thinking the contrast would be nice with some black and chrome grips... thats just my thought... I already have the cruise, so that parts covered, thanks for the thought tho scootr. Thanks again, and anyone else have any thoughts I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks again,

The hell it won't. 20 years ago I was broke down on the side of the road and three young lady's pulled over to see what all the Glare was about, I got a ride home out of it and I got a ride too.....

Opinions, we all have them, mine is all chrome. It sure looks nice having everything match, to me the black buttons take away from the finished look, IMO.

Went with Chrome Housings, and kept the black switches. Had both chrome on my softail and I always had fingerprint marks on the switches when riding with figerless gloves. Besides the accent looks good and actually brings out the chrome look of the housing IMHO. CCRyder
