Default Handlebar controls for a Roadking

I am putting an aftermarket fairing on my king. I was thinking I may pick up a used left side handlebar switch module so I can use the volume switch. I know I will probably need a module to make it work with my Sony head unit. Anyone see an issue with this?

No sir most definitely can be done. If ya can give me a quick lesson on how to move pics from photos section of phone will post up for ya. Sony makes a marine control for boats that just plugs into the back of HU. Works like a champ not real pretty but not bad either. Beats taking eyes off road to fool with radio though. part number rmx11m About $100 Amazon basspro etc...

All you need to do to post pics is press the little mountain looking button when you are in your post (have to be in advanced mode), select upload from device, pick the picture and load it. Otherwise, PM me and I'll give you my email so I can load them for you. Thanks!

It's just one wire that comes with the unit that plugs into back of hu. Also has a quick disconnect about 6 inches from control unit so you can still remove fairing easy without opening it up. Definitely the way to go
