mraf Posted October 30, 2012 Share #1 Posted October 30, 2012 OK we're riding along last week {Monday-Tuesday} going to Lincoln Caverns in Pa. listening to the radio. I reach up with my thumb to hit the seek button on the radio remote on the left handlebar. It changes channel but when I go to release the button it pops out at me. Luckily my finger is still there to stop it from its jumping to oblivion at 55. I manage to grab it and hand it over to the wife. Upon inspection of the button it seems to have a broken spear { for want of a better word} which renders it unusable. Does anyone have a spare one lying around with a few missing buttons that would be willing to sell me a button out of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted October 30, 2012 Share #2 Posted October 30, 2012 Is it the two button unit? Has a couple of rocker switches? If it is I have an extra. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eck Posted October 31, 2012 Share #4 Posted October 31, 2012 If you cant find another replacement knob, here is an idea or two.. You could use the tip of a hot soldering iron and carefully "melt" the plastic making a new tab on the old knob? Or... Im sure you can find an old piece of plastic laying on the side of the highway from a car accident, which they are most always ABS plastic... and then use the heated soldering iron tip to melt a little tab onto the old knob?

Rosie1965 Posted November 1, 2012 Share #5 Posted November 1, 2012 mraf, If you haven't found a button yet send me your mailing address in a PM and I can send one to you. My unit was rendered useless so I removed the whole thing but the buttons are good. I won't charge you anything, just pay it forward when you get a chance.

It's only been a little over two years... would you happen to have another? My seek button is lost as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie1965 Posted February 17, 2015 Share #8 Posted February 17, 2015 Todd, I have one I can send to you if you pm me your address. All I ask is that you pay it forward when you can. I would also recommend becoming a contributing member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dna9656 Posted February 18, 2015 Share #9 Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) $ button unit? Got a picture? I got a set of two switches, black with gray buttons, 2 momentary (your "seek") and 2 on/off, one type in each housing. I also have a switch from an '85, a panel looking thing....I don't ride the '85 (parts bike) but I have the panel type multi-switch off it.
