Default Auxiliary Switch??

Any one running an auxiliary switch on their sportsters? I have an 07 nightster and can't find any good switches I like online and don't really know where id like to put one. What switch are you guys using and where is it installed? Thanks!

You didn't say what the auxiliary switch is for.
Harley makes a 3 switch assembly that replaces the 2 switch (Horn/Headlight) assembly on the left grip. It was in the Accessories catalog last time I looked.

Sorry, my previous post was misleading. You don't loose the horn or headlight switch, this is an add-on.

Here's a link to the install instructions.

Well that looks nice, as I have also wanted to add a switch.
Mainly to be able to turn off headlight when engine is running if I want to.
Also working on getting the headlight relay kit installed (finally) which with this switch would make it all a lot easier.
As all I have to do with this switch is to have one ON/OFF switch mounted, and use that for cutting the ground of the relay kit, and the lights either work or don't.
There is a switch for that housing too :
