Bill W. Posted February 23, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 23, 2008 First off, a BIG Thank You to bongobobny for the parts I needed!! Next - dumb question time. How do you get the switch out of the clutch lever mount??? Mine is broken off, with a piece still in the mount. I wondered why the cruise wasn't working! I must be having a Senior Moment Attack, I can't get the @$&^*# piece out!! What holds the switch in place?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeeze Posted February 24, 2008 Share #2 Posted February 24, 2008 turn the Switch around for 90 Degrees and pull it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil86 Posted February 24, 2008 Share #3 Posted February 24, 2008 Actually from what I recall there is a hole in the bottom side of the pivot...you have to push in to release a pin thats spring loaded, then pull out the switch.. Its been a few years...and bike isn't nearby to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W. Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted February 24, 2008 Thanks, all! The broken off piece was turned in the mount just enough that I couldn't see the tab that needs to be pushed in to release it. A little prying and some pulling and it came out. Now, I hope this is a part I can still get from the dealer, that won't break the bank!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted February 24, 2008 Share #5 Posted February 24, 2008 Yah, that tab had me going for a little while too when I rebuilt my clutch master cylander last summer. You are very welcome for the parts. I have accumulated quite a few crash bars over the last couple of years from ebay trying to find a "perfect" pair. Most of them were in worse condition than what was on my bike. If you haven't found saddlebags yet, I have a pair with a key that need repainting from my '85 parts bike. Sorry, the trunk is going on my '84... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil86 Posted February 24, 2008 Share #6 Posted February 24, 2008 Looks like the switch is still available online for around $30. Its good to know ballpark price before visiting dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
