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.
thetryal..i was wondering the same thing about where to place a switch.then one night i seen the frist post you made of this..got me to thinking lol..so i fond the same handle bar switch houseing in black on ebay .i used the left side.the lower hole had to be dremeled out to fit the swtch..and yes it works great !!i dont have pictures yet i work out shore and it will be a few weeks till i get home ..this is the mini switch i used..
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.
no prob clearing the air cover...i ran 3 wires to the switch 1..is a hot 2..goes to a relay for the comp 3..goes to a dump valve..this is the mini switch
I did this last week, one drilled hole to run the switch through and snake the wires through the bars. Added note, label up and down directions before disconnecting. It's the standard included switch
Works perfect, I can easily go up and down with my thumb
