those switches are expensive, if you can find one. the problem is you can't find any. having said that i found a brand new one at a motorcycle swap meet last winter. $5. you could wire a car or boat switch in somewhere else or maybe some toggle switches and keep the original switch to lock the forks. my swap meet special isn't for sale. sorry.

ok thanks..this thing is a bitch to work on compared to my 08 flht (one piece inner fairing) makes it tough to get to the switch

In '05 mine died. It was EOL'd then according to the dealers I went to. I asked them what was the oldest switch they still carried. They gave me one for a 91-94 Glide. Tore off the inner fairing and got out the factory manual with the wireing diagram. I had to change one wire for the hookup , but after that it all went together ok and has been great ever since.

Hope you get it wired up and out on the road soon !
