Yes, the 86 has click on, click off, latching switches. The 87 has no latch and you hold it down, and no computer control either, just the automotive type flasher.
I would GUESS that the 86 switches are going to be a bit hard to come by. The badlands module would be the way to go.

my '82 FXRS has that as well. ( have to hold ) well I changed stock signals for something less obtrusive ( signals in license plate bracket ) and then they didn't work at all, unless, you manually pushed button on-off-on-off etc. got a badlands voltage regulator or what ever it was called and problem solved. ( still have to hold button though) so, its sucks but could be worse. like others have said, you can update them pretty simple.

Yes, he has fitted a Badlands load compensator by the sounds of it...with the Badlands signal module you don't need a load compensator with LED lamps.
Get the module and sell the compensator would be my advice.

yes, Spanners39 I think it was a load compensator. they definitely weren't LED`s this was like, back in the 90`s lol still have bike and it still is working by holding button to flash. bought a 97 softail custom and loved the self-cancelling signals and now have a 06 streetglide with same set-up I think. all three still in my garage
