I'm assuming you got a set of chrome covers that had the cutouts but you don't actually have the cruise and all? If so I would just use a little hot glue or silicone to hold them on. Put them on and drizzle a little sealer inside the cover

they are testy little boogers but be patient and apply steadily increasing pressure until the snap onto the sperate switches. BE VERY CAREFUL
the bottom switches on bothe sides as they are very easy to break as you
put on those chrome caps.

Let us know how that works out. I am interested in doing this, but after the nightmare of putting similar chrome switches on my Sporty, I have been gun shy on this one.

Chrome switch covers
The other chrome caps went on just fine,however these three caps are a totaly different animal. Very hard to push on.

The Vol control and the Cruise control switches look identical, however the brass post on each of them are oriented different. If you accidently switched the switches during assy, or oriented them 180 degrees wrong, the post will not allow the corresponding cap to fit in it's proper slot.
Just a thought.
I ruined my switch getting the cap off - thought I fixed it, but no such luck. Looks like a new switch for me.

Chrome switch covers
I finally got them on. I had to open up the holes on the chrome covers with a screw driver and with a little pressure they went on. Now I see why the cvo models kept the black covers. Thanks for everyones help.
