Handlebar Switch Swap
A while ago I added the Harley CB to my streetglide I am now wanting to swap out my handlebar switches with touring switches and housings that include the CB controls. I looked online and saw on Ronnie's that each individual switch has a part number but I was looking for all the switches and harness. Is there a part number for the entire left and right switches and harness? Also would this just be plug and play to gain switches to control the CB? Thank you for your help.

What year is your bike.....?
If it is a CanBus bike ('14+), this is an easy change, just two switch-paks , each with small plug-in connectors. Plug & play with OEM harness.... If it's a pre-Canbus bike, it will involve individual wires, individual switches, pin swapping, connector changing, etc..
If it's a Canbus bike, there are different numbers for the left side and right side switch-paks. There will be two switch-pak numbers for the right side. One will have a push-to-talk (PTT) button, and one will not. Each side switch-pak will cost $181 from an online HD vendor.
You can also opt for a lighted switch-pak set. That has one part number, comes with a PTT switch, lighted buttons, and costs $206 for both switch-paks from an online vendor...
My '16 Ultra Classic did not come with a CB, and did not have a PTT button. My left switch-pak had one of the buttons fail. When I saw how much each individual switch-pak cost, and that I could get a lighted set, w/PTT button, for slightly more than one OEM switch-pak, it was a no brainer for me. The PTT button worked with my intercom and phone bluetooth, without any need of a flash from the dealer...
Example: My '16 Ultra Classic: left side switch-pak #71500128B for $181.00. The right side switch-pak is #71500129C for $181.00, w/o the PTT button. The lighted switch-pak set, that comes with both switch-paks, lighted buttons, and a PTT button is #71500248C for $206.00. (all prices from HD BoardTracker Online).

For the 2013's down it's a little different. The CB function is just the left bar switches, correct? Just had to replace switches on my 2012 and it seems as if the MOCO doesn't sell just the touring switch packs for those years. I had to by HD part # 77173-08 for the left switches and 77196-08 for the right. FWIW, the wiring was long enough for apes in those kits.
