You know, I have been thinking of doing the same thing since I got the bike.

You've helped me make up my mind.
I can use the money I was going to spend on those switches and stuff somewhere else on the bike.

I'm not adding any chrome on this one. Most will be black, or natural but I'll leave some chrome down the center. Bars, controls, grips, mirrors = black. Really depends on the look ya are going for and your taste.
