Title: WTB Bar Ends, Right Handlebar Switches
Post by: Leadberry on July 25, 2012, 04:56:44 PM
Exactly as the title says.  Looking for bar ends that are in good shape...the one that came with the bike is pretty trashed.    :D

As for the right-hand handlebar switch assembly, I don't technically need the whole thing, I only need the top grey plastic piece from a 2001+ bike...one of the PO's shaved off the nipple that keeps it from sliding around.  If I absolutely must, I will buy the entire assembly (again 2001+).

Shipping would be to 44314.

Thanks for your time,
Sean

For a complete right hand control unit, you need the exact year. They changed the connectors on it.
2001-2002 is one.
2004-2005 is another
2006+ changed again because the headlight went through the starter button.

Connectors are different so exact year is critical on the right side. However, the top plastic is the same.

You can ad some tape inside it to create more friction on the handle bar and you'll be OK.

My apologies.  The bike is an '02.

I'll throw some electrical tape on there as a temporary fix.  Thanks adidas.  :]

I can see what I have. Might have the complete thing as in my projects, I only intend to use 2006+ wiring harnesses so all my bikes are the same.

Probably have extra green. Blue caps go for $50 or more if you can find one.  :icon_mrgreen: They are more rare than the OEM belly pan because they always pop off (due to heat of the lamp so switch to LEDs) and you can't buy them.

No longer need caps!
