Default Streetglide Aux Switch

Bought a 11 Streeglide over the summer and was just wondering what everyone is using the aux switch for. Am I missing a must have accessory that would be powered with this switch?

go to the tips and tricks sticky up above---however to wire it to a "switch" is clumsy.

It is way easy to wire the garage door opener to the hi/lo beam, so that flicking your lights activates the door.

simple, tidy, your hand stays on the bars- no reaching to find a switch, and no extra buttons, switches holes etc.


all the info is up there in the sticky
