I have a 2016 Ultra Classic. The forward/backward feature on the left hand switch toggle, stopped working. Due to the Canbus system, I can't just replace the switch, I need to replace the entire left side switch pack. The switch pack is self-contained. I looked up the part number for the left switch pack, 71500128A, and the discount price is $178.00, from BoardTracker.

I searched this forum for info, and found that numerous people were upgrading their handlebar switch packs with lighted switch packs. I did some searching...

I found a kit, #71500248B, that contains both the left & right hand switch packs and they have lighted switches. On BoardTracker, this kit is only $206.00 for both switch packs!!!

So I can get two new switch packs, with lighted switches, for $28 more than just buying one OEM unlighted switch pack... !? Well that's a no brainer..

I installed the switch packs today. Because of the Canbus system, and that these switches are both self contained, there were just three small plugs to deal with.

It took me about 15 minutes to change out both switch packs, and I used a torque wrench to tighten the covers and the handles...!!

I turned a repair into a really nice upgrade/mod... and it was extremely easy..!!

I just wanted to pass the word that if you have a broken switch pack, or just would like lighted switches... don't hesitate..... it's reasonably priced and super easy to do...

By the way, if anyone needs a non-lighted clutch side switch pack let me know. I have one I'd be willing to part with for a lot less than the dealer.

Then I rode my King at night.....
For some reason it was never an issue on my old Street Bob.
