I don't believe you guys realize this switch is only for 30 to 40 year old bikes. There are no old used ones at swap meets. Not that I've seen for 20 years. Harley is still selling US made ones and I just bought one for $25..I'll see if it is worth it. THANKS for trying to help.

Don't realize What???
Quit lookin at the Bandanas and leathers at the Swap... under the Table ...usually in an old Crate... that is where the Old **** is at...Every single Swap worth going to has 'em...
Even found a top tree for a Knuckle Springer, as well as the bottom tree from an Original Chief in one of them Crates.. better bring hand cleaner for that one tho...
