I kept the black control housings and did the chrome buttons. I like the contrast look.
You know, I have been thinking of doing the same thing since I got the bike. It's a bit different from the norm and it makes total sense considering the chrome accents they use on the fairing from the factory on the Limited. Nice contrast and I think I'm going to do it! 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.
