Auxiliary light switch...... - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

ScooterC · 08-02-2006, 11:02 AM

After searching the I'net & eBay, (and even here), for an auxiliary light switch, (for driving lights/fog lights), I'm coming up short. I did, however, locate one but it was for a 7/8" handlebar. The one that I need is for a 1", tho, a 1.5" would be better. Ironically, I sold my milling machine & lathe a few months ago or I would have made one. I don't want anything cheesy looking, but, something that matches the quality of the rest of the bike. Any ideas?

when i installed my driving lights i opted to tap right into the accessory wiring in the headlight housing, but if i wanted to put them on a switched circuit i would have used this:
AutoSwitch Driving Light Control

another option to consider!

If I read it right , he said the housing is 1 1/8 " tall not the opening for the handlebars. That would make the opening alot smaller than a 1"

It's an 1 1/8" wide, not tall. I'll post pix when I get it.
