rockmeupto125 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I was scolded the last time I broke down an XX for not putting it out there. Most of you know to get in touch with me if they need bits and pieces, but not all. Cleaning up around here I found another XX to dismantle, so message me for odds, ends, and bits you need. I may, but probably don't have pristine fairing pieces. I can at least check for what you need. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 My turn signal switch is sticky and unreliable, the high beam clicks but doesn't always work to engage it. Though I have a feeling anything that old would be too. If you have a nice one, I'm buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Probably don't, cuz most of this has set outside, but I will check tomorrow when there is daylight. 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a suggestion. you can clean and Lube the turn signal switch by just taking the switch housing off of handlebar and possibly a shot of contact cleaner will fix your high low switch. all in all a lot less effort than removing the windshield and fishing wiring through tight places.

XXitanium Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 My mechanic put dielectric grease in the kill switch of my Hurricane a few years ago to fight corrosion after cleaning the switch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXitanium Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Seeing that other thread with the boots that are no longer available, can carbs really be rebuilt any more? ...thinking of grabbing a set for the kid. We never got his bike in to the shop. I could at least have a clean set ready on the shelf... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly how I made the last two problem switches much worse. And I have a shitload of proper electronics supplies, I didn't go in there with WD-40 and Vaseline.
