Those switch caps only fit '96 and later switch gear. As far as I know, the '82-95 switches don't have replaceable caps.

Funny you should bring this up. I noticed lately that unless I'm sitting on the bike, I get confused about what switch does what. It's all muscle memory. It would be nice to have lettering on them.

Mine are all wore off too. Can't get just the caps. Have to buy the whole switch for each one.

How long will that last? Maybe some enamel paint. Have to find a nice, pretty girl with good hand writing, I can't read mine.

I used a label maker.....black tape w/ white lettering. I don't know how long it will last but it's easy enough to redo.

That's a good idea!

Too bad all bikes don't have removable caps. I wonder what year that started?
