Can you idenify these hand controls





These are on the bike ('80 FXLS-based chopper) I'm taking care of for my buddy while he's overseas with the Navy. As you can see, a couple of the little plastic buttons are missing. (mea culpa, I knocked them off when I went for a test ride last year; my buddy never replaced them.) I'm new to the whole bike thing, so please excuse my ignorance if there are something obvious like the factory controls.

Thanks,
Jim

Are those little covers something I could get at my local Harley store, or is this more of a resto/used part? I haven't been to the dealer down the street, but I need to get me a helmet anyway so I'll have to check it out.

Thanks for the link. I'll take a look at it. Is there some place I can get just the caps? The one thing this bike has going for it is that it was just rewired.
