Default cool switch location for DB

remove the tank and run the wires up where the rest of em go...take off the lower dash and dremel a hole in it for the switch...get a momentary, this one handles 18amps...run the wires...walla...easy

Very nice Bryan...Thanks for the idea. Just for clarification, that style of rocker switch is called a "momentary" switch??? Never heard that term before. Where did you buy yours...and what cost?

got the switch from Vantex...its an electical supply house...cost bout 5 bucks...he called it a momentary switch cause it makes contact at either side and automatically rocks back to the neutral position...where i put it has plenty of room in the back so's the wires dont hit

Why bother, I like the switch right where it is at the edge of the seat and ya don't have to lean forward to reach it!

I wired mine in the PPT switch on the left handlebar. You do not have to take your hands off the handle bars to play with the air.
