The lowbrow looks similar but it’s a 2 position, this one is a 3 position Off/ACC/On.

hth,

Do you know if that can replace a 3 position switch and just eliminate the accessory position? I've been thinking about trying to get rid of that after running the battery down a couple time not getting the key turned all the way off. I don't see any reason other than running the battery down for that on a stock '04 sportster. I didn't know about these switches, thanks for the mention.

-22 when I got up this morning, would have been a good wake up ride, but the snowblower parked in the way was frozen to the floor...

I only have a wiring diagram for my '13, so I do not know how an '04 is wired.
In my application (three wire ign switch), I have red (from battery thru 30A main fuse) ,
red/grey accessory, red/black ignition/starting. When the key is in the "on" position
(red/black getting power), the accessory wire (red/grey) is also getting power.

If yours is wired like that, then yes, you should be able to just tie the red/grey and
red/black wires together in the "on" position of this switch, thus eliminating the ACC only option.

good luck,

T.

Can you show me how you're running the wires for your front signals? I have the same kit and it irks me that HD didn't design it to hide the wires like they did with the Dyna version.
