The switch buttons do look nice in black, these examples are on a 2019 F850GS.

Once the correct switch housing/cover has been identified, (depending on the spec.),  you're probably looking at £200 to £300 per side.

A couple of threads here from a K1600 Forum, might give some idea of what's involved.
