Hey SF. Got my toggles from pep boys but no momentary switches. No O'Reilleys in my area either at least not to my knowledge. Went to three different advance auto parts and no one has the 16 amp momentary switches. Gonna go online and order them. The pictures you have me of the switches close up helped a ton. I was able to match them rt up on my phone in the store. Good ****! Going to look for some tiny micro switches for the turn signals because they're going on the bars. If anyone has seen any that they can suggest that would be rad. Thx.

I dig the Posh Factory switches, super clean and quality... but you get what you pay for. http://www.posh-factory.com/product.htm

Dude they're sweet and pricey I'm sure. I've always been into the mechanical, industrial look of things. That's why I really like the idea of the old fashion toggle and push button switches and I really want to get as much off the bars as possible also. I'm gonna put them in the neck gusset, I think they'll hide pretty well there. Starter and on off switch on one side and horn and hi low beam in the other. I'd be interested if posh made tiny round turn signal buttons by themselves. I'd prolly buy them.

Bmx just to warn you, that's not all gonna fit in there. I barely got 2 switches in the neck Web. Start thinking of other possibilities. Once you try you'll see what I'm talking about.....

Maybe the neck area on the 08 is bigger bro. Looks like plenty of room in there but once I started busting into it we'll see. Already thought about putting the started button and on off toggle in the batt cover if I have to. There are other possibilities though but good lookin out. Ill make it work!

Do you really need a on/off switch, i have been thinking about this and figured it might be easier to just eliminate them and use the key as my on/off.... Cant wait to see the progress! im hoping the OL gets me those posh switches for Vday... we will see.
