I did have to dremel/shave the back trim of the volume button. The chrome switch was different from the black one it replaced. Made them look the same, and no issues since.

If it helps, you probably spent as much doing it yourself with several purchases of the buttons that if you had bought one button kit and paid the stealer....just sayin'! And you got the self satisfaction too.

Now that's the way I like to look at it. Possitive!

Do you use the copper peices? I helped my BIL do his on his SG after doing the set my my Softail, I thought you had to use the copper pieces, after fighting with them for way too long, we forced them on with the copper pieces PITA. It looked as if the black ones didnt have them to begin with. Luckily his switches still all worked. We are about to have to do it over as he is installing cruise control.

Well, they say once you go black you never go back. I never did go black though because I didn't want to be limited to only black but I've seen a few black ones that looked nice!
