Default chrome ignition switch trim
Hey all:

I received the eastern performance billet chrome switch trim form Santa, $49.95 shipped.

Below is a pict. on the bike. I added a bit more 3M tape then it came with but other than that it is nice. It also has, if you look close, the ignition positions engraved in the piece. The competitive piece does not and cost $20 more.

I do like it. What do you think?

Love it! Looks really classy! I see you also have the brushed aluminum radio bezel. How does the combination of chrome and aluminum look?

Hey all:

As a follow up....Just took a quick 60 mile ride in Bright sun, albeit cold. No reflection issues with the chrome on the switches....A good thing

Looks great; did you have to remove the switch to install this or does it slide under the switch?

I like a lot!!! I didn't know about these, may need to get it! I have the aluminum radio face and the chrome gauge trims, so it should go well with those

Yes, the switch IS removed...an easy procedure...just make sure you DON'T move the wheel or you will need the alignment tool.

Why would moving the wheel effect the ignition???

I had my ignition out to do the fork oil change and moved the front wheel side to side numerous times. Put the switch back in at the same position that I removed it from and it fell right back into place...Maybe I was lucky???
