i finally got my switch moved to the console
will try and get better pictures in the daylight
i used a factory 2003 and newer switch from harley, had to add about 12 inches to switch harness, hardest part is getting switch mounted to tank, made a plate out of aluminum 3/16 thick mounted it to sending unit bolts drilled and tapped it 8/32 for switch bolts, had to use plastic spacer in between switch and mounting plate, used 3/16 clear tubbing for edge of console, oh and used a 2" hole saw for the console, i know alot of us hate that damn switch on the frame neck i did, have about 6 hours in custom mok up time in the garage, but well worth it, tell me what everyone thinks

Nice job, and it looks factory.
Funny how they left just enough room for that switch to fit there.

looks 110%, how hard or easy was it to do the wiring? what wires go where on the new switch??

 

Looks great....been thinking about this one awhile, another thing to do during the winter.

 

there are 3 wires on the stock switch a,b,c, just install same place, the connector is the same on both switches
there is a red wire, red/black and red with a grey stripe, i had to unplug stock plug and remove wires from plastic insulator so i could reroute wires back up and out on the left side, added about 12 inces of new wire soldered and shrink tubed all of

 

Nice job, Bob. Want to come to Arizona and do thatto mine? [sm=smokin.gif]

 

lets see can we say road trip!!
