Wild Steed Worx has been asked to look into a replacement for our handlebar switch curcuit cards on the all the 04 and up BD bikes.
One of our members here just did this modification and did a lot of work cutting, welding, shaping and polishing to replace his switches. I must say he did a great job. :2thumbs:
Curtis and I have been brainstorming this for the last few days and think we have a solution that would fit all of our needs with minimal modifications required. You can send your control housing to WSW for modification or you can modify your covers to fit the custom plate with minimum required work.
I'm adding a poll here asking for your input on what you think about our idea.
What we are thinking of doing is making a cover plate for both side switch overs. It would be very flush to the unit you have now. Similar to the plate on the top of the front master cylinder:
Within this plate we would place probably four switches. Turn signal, horn, hi/lo beam on one side and run/off, turn signal and start on the otherside. All of these switches would be pre-wired to plug right into your current wire harness with mimimal fuss. They would all be 5v switches so it won't interfere with your EHC. The plates would be highly polished to fit flush with your controls and you would hardly notice it there and it will be sealed.
We are sourcing buttons now but here are some of the mild to wild switches we've seen so far are below:
Simple plain switch
Nice chrome switch
An expensive "touch" activated switch. This is going on mine!!!
Anyway, please help out by voting in the poll or add your comments below telling us what you think. We are all ears right now researching this. Keep in mind that replacing your curcuit cards currently on your bike is going to relatively expensive also.
Hoping to have a set on my bike to show off in Sturgis.
Kaptain Amerika and Billie blazing a trail again!!!!
