I am wanting to grind the tabs of my switch housings so when I roll my bars forward I can adjust them so the mirrors are usable. With the problems a lot are having with the clutch switch, including myself, will this give the dealership, or the MOCO a reason to void a warranty claim for this piece?

 

I Don't think so.

Lots of folks on the CVOHarley site have done it on the 2015 CVO roadies.

That may be a question better suited for your dealer, don't you think?

 

Hmmmmmm, grinding on stock parts on a $21k bike still under warranty, probably not a real good idea.

 

How it's SUPPOSED to work, is if you have any problems with the bike that can be attributed to something you did, it wouldn't (and really shouldn't) be covered under warranty. If the problem isn't related to your mod, the repair should be covered.
How it works in real life will depend on a lot of variables. Impossible to predict, you'll have to either grind away and take the risk or wait till the warranty is over. Worse case scenario is that you have to pay for a repair that normally would have been covered by the MOCO.

 

Seriously... you have to grind on the housing just because you want to roll your bars a little??? that's crazy. so I guess the housing has a tab that locks it into the bars themselves? and if you roll the bars, it rotates the mirrors??? hmmm

 

I was talking to a parts guy at a dealership and asked him about the tabs and installing apes. He told me that they switch out the switch housing with a street glide model to do the ape install. I believe they do not have tabs. Now this was just a passing conversation so you may want to confirm that.

 

I had thought the tabs were on the bars - kinda a safety feature so if you did a Hard stop, you would not just rollll forward??? Are the switch housing also locked?? Mine - I just loosen and move how I want?? Mirrors are on the clutch and brake bracket - or am I missing something here??

 

Why not just install the mirrors with the longer stem.

 

I can confirm mine did not have that tab. I was reading the whole thread thinking WTF, until I read your post.
