Well that was easy. I had to micro solder a new switch into mine. What a PITA and took 4 hands. All Harley had to do was make this a plug-n-play replaceable part as it is a weak link but noooooo, "lets pot this thing with epoxy so they never get it off".
Oh, the metal tab thing (#6 in the diagram) is to hold the wiring in a specific place in the switch housing. That too is a PITA to get back in properly after you have installed the new switch and it's different length and thickness wire leads.
F-ing Harley engineers!!! They must not actually ride nor work on these bikes...(same goes for those damn Italians and their tiny hands...) lol.

Cavaot?? It's $199.95 part...or close to that. I think...
Someone posted it a few months ago. It's still wearing out.. They didn't fix it. I replaced 3 hydraulic rear ones (one was a warranty recall) I finally got one from AutoZone lifetime. It's lasted longer then 3 of Harley's.
I had a 52 Studebaker car that was 70 years old that had the original one.
