Chrome Switch Cap Kit

[Noodles107]

So Harley makes this nice 10 piece Chrome Switch Cap Kit for the Freewheeler. I think they would be a classy addition to my Black Switch Housings and Black Kuryakyn ISO Grips. They are also very reasonably priced. Anyone put these on their ride? The instructions get a little more involved than I would have thought. They want you to remove the seat, pull the main fuse, remove the housings and there are some other screw & clip stuff they talk about. I'm usually pretty good with installs (often times getting pointers from you guys) but I don't do anything wire or electric related. I'm wondering how much Harley would charge to swap these out. Can't really be substantial ... ya think?

Thanks so much

Most dealers start out at about 150$ an hour…So think of that as the minimum?

Orrr … do I leave the all Black Switch & Housing, Black ISO Grips and just add the Gloss Black Grip End Caps … hmmm this may be the way to go

Just me… but if I was going to change my switch here, I will change it to the illuminated switches…

I am more of a function guy, I would opt for the lighted chrome covers that Bob referred to

I always pull the main fuse or disconnect the battery during any kind of electrical project

I have seen the bad JUJU up close and personal from guys that do not

On 3rd thought ... I think I'm settled. Didn't love the switch caps, didn't love the extensions (more appropriate on my Katana) but wanting to bring a taste of chrome to the ends of my Black ISO Grips. I think I've got it down this time. Just the right amount of "bling" without overpowering the eye. Chrome Trim Ring w/ Flush Chrome End Cap. Way to go. Final answer!

I put them on my wife's FW.

As to the installation, pretty simple. Pop off the old and snap on the new.

For that extra touch of bling the brake and clutch reservoir caps were replaced with chrome.
