I changed over to the Pearlescent chrome E-Brake handle. The leather boot is held onto the handle with a nylon tie wrap on the inside. Once you turn the leather inside out you can easliy clip off the old tie, pull the old handle off, and replace with the new handle (securing the leather with a new tie wrap). The whole process took about 5 minutes.
