Default Switch wires

What gauge wires are in the handle bar switches and where can you get them?

Thank you

Just curious. In case I ever have to again splice a wire, I would like to know the gauge of wire.

Has anyone replaces Radio Shack?

Thank you.

Sometimes trying to help people on a forum is like pulling teeth.

If you want help that is accurate and not guesswork, you need to tell us WTF you are working on.
