Default 1988 fxstc solenoid push button option

I am hoping to find a solenoid push to start button I can install on my 1988 fxstc Softail. I have the round solenoid for which the FSM states "The solenoid installed on 1984-1988 models is separate from the starter motor'. Is there a solution for my bike?

Thanks in advance for your help

yes it is and it had cracked on mine. My solenoid has a few bugs with it so much so that I'm worried its going to leave me stranded. I'm going to go ahead and pick up the lever solenoid and give it a shot.
