Oh no I didn't..
I have been working on my bike doing some upgrades and while replacing the handlebars, and going to chrome switch covers I was pulling the ***** off the cruise and radio controls on the right side. Crap, I pulled the insides out of the little switch that controls the radio mode. Called local dealer and that little tiny switch is $60. He'll no. I just internally wire the bars and don't really won't to pull new cable in. Maybe I will do without this and work this function on the radio by hand. I hate that. Any recommendations?

Hmmm...$60 bucks to fix something correctly on a 20k motorcycle that your spending some bucks on already?
Think I'd spend the money and buy the switch to fix it right and remember not to do that again.

You don't have to mess with the wires in the bars. All you have to do is change the switch inside the hand controls. I broke the volume switch doing the same thing your doing. Not a hard fix. 2010 Limited with some stuff

Spend the $60 on a new switch, messing with the radio with one hand going down the road could be a BIG distraction and get you into a very BAD situation!

Ya screwed up doing your own labor. Maybe saved $600 or so in labor to do the bars? Spend the $60 and make it right. You'd make the shop replace it. Cost of doing business man.
