So i put drag bars on my bike which work pretty well for the most part... only problem i've run into is the clearance with the left plastic piece that has the blinker switch on it..



Does anyone have info on how to wire up a custom switch. The plastic one is just way too bulky and large. Suggestions and criticism welcome

thanks guys

pics? I don't know what you are refering to...

The plastic piece that sits right before the clutch handle, it's the piece that has the switch for the blinkers..

Just grab the switch you want to use and the wire diagrams for both your bike and the switch, then start matching up wires.



I was able to adopt switches from an 08 CBR this way. I lost the low beam head light, but I don't mind using high beams for now until I do an HID upgrade.



Did you have a switch in mind?

 

[jesus45]

No idea, just something smaller than the stock one so it wont touch the tank when turning the bars

Theres universal ones on ebay, but most switches ive seen are about the same size

 

[jesus45]

hmm i guess i'll just have to make them fit

I put clubmans on my bike and my controls hit, so im gonna try to make some kind of steering stops

Use the late model Honda switches. They are cheap on Ebay. The kill switch will work backwards as the CX kill switch is looking to ground the ignition

Very true. Mine is this way.

You can make pretty much anything work.

Hmmm, well these all seem fairly close to factory so i'll just stick with what i got and try to make it work.

You could always try what I'm doin - I'm not gonna run any switches on the bars. I've got clubman bars on my 500 with GSXR brake and clutch levers. In the process of making switches that will mount below the seat. Should have them done this weekend.

Will sure look clean, but id like the blinkers and kill switch to be in closer reach. What are you using for the throttle?

I don't want to steal this post so I'll make it quick. No turn signals (that's what arms are for), throttle sleeve is just a standard 7/8 I bought on ebay. Start button, kill switch, horn, and lights will be under seat - no other switches needed. i'll start a new post this weekend when its done.
