However, the left console switch pack is present in the '17 CVO, same as '16 CVO. Even though I'm sure there are probably additional functions added to the canbus, I really doubt that they have redesigned the canbus functions of that left console switch pack.

It would be easy enough to verify by looking as the parts manuals for both years & verifying that left console switch pack is the same part number. Any competent parts counter staff at any dealer should be able to do that.

If the left console switch pack number is the same, then the kit I posted will work, despite other wiring changes.
why don't you look at the 2017 service manual before you make statements. you have a 2014 FLHTK.

I added LED lights to my bike and used the switch from HD. I also got a harness to cut the plug off under the left side cover to make it look professional. All the wiring for the switch is there if you don't mind cutting or tapping into the wires at the plug all you need is the switch

Yes that is the only switch you can use on the CVO I setup mine using that switch too. But why din't you get the CVO switch instead of the FLHTK one?

Really? I know what I have. And it very well appears you've got a huge ego revolving around your wallet.

Have you compared the 2017 electrical diagnostics manual against the 2014 electrical diagnostics manual? Do you even have the electrical diagnostics manual. Or the parts manual?
