I really like your switch setup. Any chance you could toss me a pic of the backside with the wiring? I'm familiar with how switches work somewhat, but as to what amp of switch i need and how to hook it up with these harley wires, make me a noob again, lol.

The switch will have two male blade connectors on the back of it, you need two female blade connectors to crimp onto your wires- one blue one and one yellow one. The connector that crimps on the single wire fits in a blue one easily, you'll need a yellow one to fit the two wires together in.

I'm sure you can find a 15 amp switch and the female blade connectors locally, they're very common items, but since I wasn't in any hurry I googled marine supply toggle switch and found one that had that rubber boot screwed on top of it.

If you have any other questions I'll help in anyway I can.. but you'll understand without a picture as soon as you have everything in your hands.
