Default Opinions on PM Hand controls?

I was going to have cruise out on my bike this winter. Then I gave some thought to chrome controls? But that seems to be the norm. I was looking through PM's catalog and was looking at their hand controls. The black contrast cut look pretty sharp. Does anyone have these? Pics would help as well. Looking for some opinions.

thanks
Eric

I have them. Love 'em!
I have the chrome.
Wiring was time consuming, but not too bad.
Very clean hand controls.

Pic isn't too good..but it's best I have.

I just love the PM Renthal Rubber Grips also. As for sheer comfort, I have never been so happy with the way a grip felt or fit my hand! I am not sure if they have them available yet for the 08-09 models with ETC, but the last time I checked out the PM site they did not....it was a few months ago though. I just went ahead and installed a set of HD Ironside grips to go along with all the other Ironside collection stuff I put on. Once I get around to it though, there will be a set of the PM Renthal Rubber grips on the SG for sure.
