Where to mount another switch on R.K.?
I've got another thread here going where I asked for help diagnosing a non-functioning cruise control. thanks for that assist, it's all working now. To help diagnose, I rigged up a $4 on/off/on momentary that I put on a temporary bracket hanging off the windshield bolt to test it and it all works as it's supposed to now. Problem is, that bracket and the fact that the switch wires are all exposed to the elements is terrible to behold. I need to hide it. I was planning to use the extra aux switch to turn the cruise ON and OFF and then use this new momentary switch to set the cruise like I used to on the right hand control. Only reason I'm doing this is because the stock switch is over $50 and I think I'd rather eat my shoe than pay that for a silly switch. anyone have an idea where I can mount that new switch? Or, is there an easier place to mount a push button switch and then mount this momentary switch in the left hand unused position behind the nacelle? I know it's a little odd to get to, but my right hand got broke a while back and I'd just as soon have the Set/Resume on the left side somewhere, because my right thumb doesn't like to move to where the stock switch is anyway. Suggestions?

That left hand switch is actually an active switch, and the plug is under the seat on your King. A buddy uses that to power the audio for his detachable fairing and the lights for his tour pak with the use of an HD splitter. If you're not going to have a need for that switch, then use it as you intended.
You could drill a place for the push button switch on the bar clamp cover.

I drilled into my speedo cover and installed the same momentary switch that controls the odometer. I use it for my garage door opener and I like that it looks oem.
Ive also installed a 2 way toggle underneath the seat on the panel that faces that back cylinder above the upper transmission cover to power my LEDs off and on.

For $50.00 I think you are chasing craziness, trying to make something look right, when, for $50.00, you can have the cleanest, factory look and function....don’t eat your shoe, buy the factory replacement switch, and have a few beers.
