Handlebar switches
I'm new to this area of the forum. I've been riding dynas but recently acquired an fxr. I've seen a few bikes that have the newer style switches and was wondering if anyone knows how difficult it is. Is it plug and play or a little more involved? Is it even worth trying to swap? My bike is also the police model if it matters. Any help/advice is appreciated.

What year is your FXR? The reason I ask is there is a different wiring scheme depending on whether the bike has the old type turn signal flasher, or the later turn signal canceller module.
I can give you instructions for either type...

When I did my FXR, I used the late style module....Much better than a flasher inside the headlight.

They stopped using the flasher after the `90 model year.
`91 to `95 they used the Turn Signal Canceler Module.
The modern TSM/TSSM came out for `96.

Dudshep31,
I couldn't find the thread which may or may not exist. In any event it is a sincerely easy process to complete as you would just get your writing diagram and match existing to the newer colored wires from the switches. Ask Dan about help, he'll steer you right.
Good luck,
Tom
