Strange but true..... I just don't like the chrome switch covers, TC!  :oops: 

I like the contrast by having the black switches.  At first when the covers came out, I thought great, more chrome. But the look isn't for me.

Exactly the same here Jim.  I much prefer the contrast of the black switches on the chrome background.  Have installed those (gawdawful) switch covers twice.  But never on my own bikes.  Once for a buddy after which I swore I'd never Ever EVER do another one.  Then for another friend who'd recently got her first bike and had the cutest little a...  well, you understand.

Yeah, I get the picture!  ;)

Might have done the job myself under such terrible circumstances!

Each to there own, but I'm with Jim & Don on this one. the contrast is the way to go on the switches. IMHO.

Jim...put the chrome switch covers on the other switches.  I've had them in the basement for a year, and havn't gotten around to it yet.  It's one of those cussin' and drinkin' installs, so I have avoided the frustration.  They cost very little, but are a PITA to install.

You got that right, Terry.  I lent a hand to a friend who did that to his RK a few years back.  No way man.  Not gonna happen.  I'd end up slingin' chit all over the garage and sayin' words that would require a trip to the confessional.  :huepfenlol2:

Well, the bars and all associated goodies are ordered.

Anyone want a set of slightly 'reworked' stock bars.

We could do it one upcoming weekend, you know, just before your Traxxion appointment.  ;D

Sassy just said " you tell Chief we're stayin' home for awhile after this trip."

Oh well, I tried. I'm sure I could find a business meeting that I have to goto in Atl though.

Well, it will have to be at least four or five weeks before my bike will be back together. It you're in no hurry, I'm sure we could find a weekend to fit Sassy's schedule.

I have determined that in it's current state, doing the bars is going to be a snap.  ;D

This does make it much easier to get at all those hard to reach places to clean. I don't think Henry goes quite this deep in his detailing. Close maybe, but not quite.

I don't know about Henry, but I damn sure don't. If I took that much off of mine it would take a whole lot of time and tools to get it back together. :nervous:

Hopefully when the functional parts roll in, handlebars, bag supports, etc., I'll be able to at least get it back to a rolling chasis before too long. Once there, I'll be shut down until the tins get back from the painter.

Looks like you're gonna have a party?  My chubbys need to be installed too.  Can I come (assuming I have a running bike, lol)?
