I know this isn't the classifieds, but today while on a ride I reach down to turn the radio down and realize that there's a problem ... no button, just the stub that it goes on. Not sure when it flew off but it's gone. I was wondering if anyone changed to chrome and had a black one they could sell me so I don't have to buy a whole package.

Thanks!

 

Just so's ya know, you can purchase just the switch cap. Believe it comes with a little copper clip thing-a-ma-bob along with it. Think it's like $6-8. You wouldn't have to buy an entire new switch.

 

71820-98 $8

 

Thanks for this info dawg........not to hijack this thread, but mine fell
off last year while on a ride.
Luckily I noticed it was loose and put it in my pocket.........once back home,
I borrowed my wife's fingernail polish and put a couple 'dallops' inside
the little plastic thing a ma jiggy and put it back on the protruding stubb.
Held it still for a few minutes until the polish dried, then walked away.
Its been there since.....but is always nice to know the parts #, so I can
ask for it at the counter and not be led down a never-ending road by
the service dept.

 

dawg, thanks, as usual, you are the man! I guess I will HAVE to go by the dealer now and, well, use self control.

ybnorml - I'll let you by this time (hi-jacking thread) because your avatar is sooooo damn cute. Not sure how long I've been staring at it ....

 

I keep spare in my tour pack lost em few times between 2 bikes black ones are better quality IMO then chrome.

 

Use the tuning fork-type tool HD supplies with the switch cap kits (or an equivalent tool)and press really, really hard to seat the switch cap fully.

IIRC, the p/n is different for the volume switch depending on whether the bike has the PTT/squelch switch next to it.
