Default Changed turn signal buttons…

I swapped out my turn signal buttons for extended ones, and of course snapped a piece of the plastic in the module that holds the button in place. Can’t find it either to try and repair. Without it, the button won’t stay in place. Any ideas that don’t require me having to buy the whole new right side hand control module? HD part is like 320$, aftermarket is cheaper but all out of stock.

We don`t have any ideas, because we don`t know what you are working on...

yeah that would probably help, sorry! 2012 Fat Boy. The part number for the hand control module is 72944-12. The only thing wrong with it is a small pice of the plastic housing for the turn signal button broke off that keeps the button in place. I circled the piece I would need, but I’m hoping maybe someone has had a similar problem and has an idea of how to make it work without replacing.

I am also on the hunt for one of those, but I have absolutely no time for research right now. Fortunately, since I've discovered the essay writing service https://boomessays.com/, my life has become a bit easier, and I do get more much-needed rest. However, it often feels like I could use a few extra hours in the day to tackle all the tasks on my to-do list. Balancing work, studies, and personal commitments can be quite a challenge!

Easy fix. Extend left hand until arm is parallel to the ground for a left turn. extend left hand up with arm bent at elbow for a right turn.


or, JB weld something to the switch....

if you still have the broken off piece, you can try a plastic specific adhesive. it will fuse the parts together. i have had success when using it to repair printers. i think 3m makes it but not sure, it is two part and working time is short and will gag a maggot.
scotch weld i think.
