I am not sure if I may have missed this one in previous posts......but since the dealership does not offer an extended-reach replacement switch for the Rushmore models yet, has anyone come up with a decent solution to this problem? I do not want to just glue-on one of those fingernail caps that are out there, since our right-hand switch now has dual functionality.

I do not have a problem reaching the left-hand switch, but my throttle-hand always seems to be positioned just a little further beyond where my thumb can comfortably reach the right switch, without having to crab-crawl over to it while trying to maintaining speed.

 

They have them now in the new parts...

I'd like one for the horn button....When I need to blow it in an emergency I seem to fumble around trying to find it...Fortunately I've been able to avoid the danger by the time I rotate my hand up to find the button...

 

I had a set of the Kuryakyns on my softail but the new HD ones look much hardier.

 

Thanks for the info Barry. I only wish that I had seen your reply sooner because I just came from the dealer today and had them change my housings to chrome ones and didn't know these were available. Their service department didn't know either, because I asked them about it too

 

Seen the H-D extended ones @ my dealer.

 

Nice Option! Thanks for the link.

 

How difficult would it be to change these myself? I was told that the grips and throttle have to come off in the process. Is this true?

 

No that is not true. Just pull two screws per side and pry off the old switch button. Replace the two screws and then install the extended switch covers.

 

Did they not used to have a .PDF link to the instructions on the website?

I went looking for the instructions, and had zero luck.
