I need a new set as the Chrome is peeling and I would like Chrome ones to replace them.  I see many on flee bay but I'm not sure of the quality and want a recommendation please.

Kury wide non adjustable in chrome. VERY comfortable on arthritic hands. Little more back offset than stock. RIDE SAFE.

Can't agree more. Just sold a Valk with them for 12 years. Gotta get another set for the new Valk.

The adjustable reach levers are nice (Kury, Add-on and someone else, and you have to cut a tab off one of the levers, as they are made for Goldwings; 1-minute easy job), but the truth is the Kury Wide (chrome) (nonadjustable) direct replacement for OE levers are very nice and beefy, and about the same reach as the adjustables on the #3 middle setting.  And I don't think the adjustables are as wide as the straight replacements (Kury Wides).

Looks like the Kuryakyn version may no longer be made (not sure).

Here is the how-to on cutting the tab off.  And note that some have a small brake light issue; when releasing the lever, the brake light stays on for 2-3 seconds before switching off (when I had them, it was not how tight or loose I mounted the lever, it required I take the lever and do a bit of careful filing where it fit into the lever mount) . http://forums.delphiforums.com/valkyrie/messages/?msg=13360.1

These direct replacements are perfect for me and my small hands (Kury #7429).  And no tab trimming, and no slow brake light switch release.  Same as others recommend.  Me too.
