Maybe I was a tad harsh, didn't mean to be a jerk-off.

No I personally have never owned them.

Of course I've seen a lot of them in person, just not for me.

I do like the chrome housings with the black buttons though.

I have both housings and buttons in chrome. The writing on the chrome buttons is harder to read, but you don't need to see it anyway. I like the all chrome look.

That's the best I've ever seen. That inner paint job requires two things I don't have; imagination and talent. LOL

Now back to the original topic......... Best example I've seen of black housings with chrome buttons. Really works with the anniversary paint scheme.

+1 I like the chrome covers and buttons, but I have A LOT of chrome on my bike, it only made sense.
