I agree. At first i figured I would remember where all the new functions are located on the switches. Now, after enough night riding I'm constantly messing around with the switches. My #1 fear is hitting the stop/run switch on the highway.
Illuminated switches are in my future.

The first couple times riding my new RG to work in the dark and not being fimiliar with the controls I was wishing they were lighted but didn't realize at the time that was even an option. After running across them in the catalog they are on the top of my winter mod list!

What are you all finding for prices on these switches? I looked last year and seem to remember like $300? I've got my bars off and controls all apart now to do 16" apes, and now would be as good a time as any, I guess.

$249.95 list, my dealer 199.95, 20 percent discount, Kutter's price should be similar.
