adding switch for arnott air ride

I was looking for a better mounting option for my arnott shocks switch. I was wondering if it it possible to use a switch housing from say, a touring harley like a electraglide and rewire the radio toggle switch on the left housing.

My thought was to use this toggle switch to raise and lower the shocks. I think it would look very stealthy.

I was just wondering if the switch housing would fit the bar. Then it is a matter of buying the switch and rewiring it. You could just use the left housing that is bigger than the standard vrod or wire another toggle to the touring type right side switch housing.

Any thoughts on doing this??

I've got a muscle if it makes a difference.

I have the switch, it works but, it's hard to reach while also holding the clutch and it doesn't look totally stock.

Bristyle, looks great. Nice to know it can be done.

Does out have enough clearance when you turn the bars and not hit the tank?

My only concern about the radio switch is that it is likely electronic rather than electric. Meaning it is designed to pass a digital signal rather than 12v. I would be concerned that it may not be able to handle the amp draw. If you ran lower voltage through it and added a relay it may work.

It looks like bristyle used a mini toggle wired directly to the compressor.
