Default Faring switches

Has anyone found an affordable source for the push on/off accessory switches on the Rushmore bikes? I want to add an accessory switch or two but can't stomach the 80 to 90 bucks a piece the dealer wants for them.

Does your bike by chance already have Auxiliary lights? If so, the switch is already there and all you need is the buttons to replace the blanks.

Yes, it has the aux lights but I plan to add led lights and want to use the factory type switch instead of an aftermarket toggle.

You can buy just the buttons. The actual switch is already on your bike under the fairing cap. It has blank covers over the remaining 2 switches. You purchase the buttons and replace the blanks.

Here's a pic





The switches that are already there are wired to the 8pin molex plug under the left side cover. You can buy just a molex connector and terminals that you can wire yourself. Total cost was 23.00.

What the other guy said... The buttons are $16.00 from Harley. If you already have the switch pack, you just pop out the dummy button and pop in a switch. Literally takes 10 minutes.

I found the switches for 14.00 apiece and bought two so as to make all three functional on the left side. Very easy to install. Same dealer (boardtracker harley) has the acc wiring harness for 19.00. Cheapest I found. This makes actual wiring in new accessories much easier. Now just to finish installing the lights. Thanks for everyone's input.
