$24,999 Brake Switch!
$24,999 Brake Switch!
47,400 miles on my '09 Street Glide and the brake switch finally crapped out. I could care less if the brake light stayed on, but I really miss the cruise control!!
So, I hop on the bike and head to my local Dallas HD. I buy a switch (yes, I know there is a recall...but I ain't waiting for them when I can do the work myself) and walk around a bit. While walking around, I get a text from my GF:
"whatcha doin?"
"Walking around Harley. had to buy a new brake switch"
"ok, pick a pretty color"
So, when you get a text like that, you do what every man SHOULD do....come home with a new bike! So, 3 hours later, me and my new brake switch, attached to a 2013 Ultra Limited, were on the way home!

I debated and debated over the black, or the yellow/black. I really like both..

Yeah, know what you mean! 24,999 for a brake switch is a little steep, but ya gotta let her know that is was worth it........you got two more years of warranty!!!
Now that's smart and savvy shopping!

Congrats on the new Limited purchase. I had a similar experience with an IPOD case. Stopped by the dealership to get one of those cases with a magnet to stick to your tank. Walked out with a free IPOD case and a new Limited Anniversary.
