Hey Joe, you are a man on fire! FWIW in my opinion the OEM neutral and oil lights are difficult to see in the bright day. I could not tell if my oil light was on when parked in the sun when starting up. Going down the road I doubted that I would even see the oil light come on. I found LED's that look just like OEM and they drop right in the bezel with no modifications. They are very bright in all conditions.I got mine from a local boatyard but here's a link to some that look like the ones I have. https://spemco.com/red-round-12-volt...s-1092qd1-12v/. No splicing for a clean install. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...0509c8c38c.jpg

@Redrodyankneck I had thought about changing to LEDs, but remember this is an AMCA restoration. They will certainly gig me for the dome shaped lenses. I saved the link for future reference, thanks.
The HD Museum does a weekly video of archive bikes that they have on the rack, this link is to a 1982 FXRS with 28 miles on the odometer, it never left their hands. Lots of details for you to be seen.

Thank you - they also posted it on Facebook. Very cool, and wonderful to see one so original and pristine.
First, they stopped using the wire clips to hold the switch wiring to the handlebars, started using these plastic ones: 56070-81 RETAINER. JWBoon has them for under $2, but the vultures on eBay want $30 each! Anyone have four they would sell for a reasonable amount?
Second, inside the right housing is supposed to be a little flat metal piece: 56396-74A FRICTION SPRING, THROTTLE GRIP. That's still available thru the dealers, so maybe I'll just take a run over on Monday.
Mine are black on my 82 Wide Glide. GM used them, lots on ebay cheap. The proper name for the type of retainer on my 82 is an Omega Clip
Thanks, I figured Harley didn't come up with them, but couldn't find the right search terms. Even tried a google reverse photo search. I'll spend some time looking for Omega Clips, maybe even at NAPA.
