Default Pics?

I have a set of these waiting to go on. I got the chrome ones and am thinking maybe I should have got the black ones? Anyone have the chromes with the stock black swithes and housings? The pic on the HD site is with chrome housings. Thanks

The black ones are on my list... I think the grip and diameter would be good.

I heard they were backordered for awhile at first.

I am at work so I don't have a shot of the wife's grips, but if you look at any of the pictures of chrome PM Grips with black housings that will tell you what it will look like. The Get a Grips are a pretty close copy of the PMs and they sure look a lot a like. The PMs are more solid, but cost more because of it. They feel equally good to the hand.

I got the chrome ones and have been able to put a few hundred miles on them and really like the texture and the Diameter of these.

And yes my left grip was glued on... Air compressor and nozzle shoved under the edge seperates it quickly.
