Chrome Switch Caps
#2
RE: Chrome Switch Caps
Only 2. First off, take your time removing the idle and throttle cables from the throttle grip, those little brass ferrules are hard to find once they pop off the cable ends. 2) Buy an extra ferrule or 2 because if they do pop off and get lost, it's better to have a spare and not need it than be stuck w/o one (or two) Take it from experience, this is one extra part you should have.
One last suggestion, is that if you are ever thinking about changing your grips from the stock black, this is the perfect time to do it so you don't have to remove the throttle again, and go buy the little ferrules that you probably will need and not have, unless you've followed recommendation #2.

I can tell you that on the brake side there is a little ( v clip or something ) that's between the brake lever and the brake light switch, careful not to lose it and remember to put it back in I lost mine and ended up gluing a piece of a credit card to the inside of the lever! Sucked!!! Now on my new bike I said no to all that and had the dealer install the clutch bracket, master cylinder, switch covers, switch caps and grips, didn't wanna lose anymore hair [sm=yikesomg.gif]

I also can attest to the thing about nicking the wires you will have a short and all the lights wil not function. One thing that worked well for me was on the throttle cables put the short one in first and then the longer one. And it is a pain to do this the idea about the grips is a good one too. You may want to check in the manual to see if you need a wedge in the brake lever to get it back together again.

Greetings from Fountain Inn SC. I have a 2010 Dyna Super Glide. I was replacing the Factory handlbar switch caps with a chrome set. I completed the left assembly without much of a problem. I have replaced all of the caps on the right assembly, but I noticed while the housing was open and dangling that a clip has fallen out from somewhere in the housing. I'm not sure if this was simply a spacer of some sort or if it is used to complete some type of connection. Because now, even manually depressing the Front Brake lever switch (To turn off the brake LED), it does not turn it off. The Brake light remians lit all of the time. Also, My blinkers no longer function. I have checked the fuses in the side panel under the seat and do not see any that are blown.
any advice is greatly appreciated!!
