Default Part # Help Please

Hi Guys
Does anyone know the part # for the Rubber Boot thingy that goes over the Rear Brake light switch shown in the pic below for a 06' Softail Standard


Ive googled and searched but can only find the Switch itself not the rubber booty

Thanks in advance

I searched my parts catalog and didn't see just a boot for that. The only boot I seen listed was for the engine temp switch. I wonder if it comes with the new switch?

my guess is that you cant buy it without buying the entire switch. Go to Lowes and get some of that rubber in a can stuff and paint it on.

I checked several parts fiches for that bike and different bikes, none had it listed.

Also, went into the garage and looked at both my bikes...neither has a boot.

Put some dielectric grease on each connection to keep the moisture out, I think you'll be fine.

The switch is listed as a kit. It comes with the switch, and two insulated connectors. No boot.

Thanks for looking NC D'Lux I really appreciate it

2010 Deluxeguy I just bought a new switch , (which i have to do Every year like freakin clock work), the switches Do Not come with the boot,

The pic is my friends 06 Standard which has this rubber boot on it (and has Never went out),

My 05 CVO Fatboy is the one that has the problem with the switches and it doesnt have any rubber boot on it so i thought maybe if i can get the boot it would insulate the switch and i wont have to replace it so often

Thanks Fisheye
Ive insulated the switch before with electrical tape, i will try the dielectric grease like you suggested,
looking at my friends (thats never failed) i thought to myself....Hmmmm... Maybe if i put one on My switch it would insulate it and i wouldnt have to keep changing it EVERY Year

I thought mine (06 Lux) had a boot when I swapped the braided line on and just went out to the garage to confirm, it does. You may check at the dealer next time your there...if you have a good parts person you may have some luck.

Thanks NC, I was beginning to think my friends bike was the only one with that boot

I will check next time i go up to the dealer but not gonna hold my breath (good parts guys are hard to come by)

Im sure i can figure out something, just figured it was a easy to find part

Again, Thank You
