Headlight hi/low switch

Post by viclioce »

I found my OEM Road Toad handlebar switch for my lights/horn. But, I'm missing the rocker switch for the hi/low funtion. The wiring and the contact points are still there. Does anyone k ow where I can get just the rocker switch and the button? Anyone got an old broken switch with the parts for the hi/low still there? Or would this be something I could get from just about any MC hi/low switch? These parts aren't usually sold separately.

Also, the turn signal switch is there but does not want to move into either position to activate the signals. Any advice will be appreciated for this as well.

Thanks in advance! Victor

I was able to disassemble the switch. The turn signal switch now works. Seems there is a spring & ball bearing inside on the slider for the switch. They were rusted into position & wouldn't move. I was able to pull them out, cleaned the spring with PB Blaster and the ball bearing was the same size as one of the steering head bearings! I replaced it and reassembled and now it's working smoothly. So they can be fixed. Now if I can just get the high/low switch parts!!!! ; D Victor

Bump! I'm bringing this back to the top! Is there anyone out there who might have a broken switch which still has the functional high/low switch parts in it? I just need the black button and the metal toggle that moves back and forth. Thanks! Victor
