Would like an all in one functionality (not chrome) but the DCC and other common websites like mc-superstore dont have many appealing options.

Anyone have suggestions (other than the custom 700$ :))
 
I've looked for this myself. Have seen a few black options that are fairly inexpensive. Most coming out of Asia. This one from Tusk is $29 - you can do a "controls" search in the electrical section of motorcycle parts on eBay to find a bunch of different stuff.

If you get something like this or similar, post how they turn out. I'm about 2 months away from getting controls, and would like to know the quality and how they look. Cheers.
 
Those are very cool! Can't really imagine them on an old Honda though, seems like a great idea for a future build... ;D
 
Ive got a pair of the Posh mini switches in the mail for my build. Hopefully should keep the bars really clean.

Those are pretty nice! How do they look out of the box? Good construction and whatnot? I ordered my grips from that website a long time ago and totally forgot they existed.
 
The posh switches are awsome. Words of warning though. You need a half inch/13mm drill bit and if you don't get those holes spot on (2 per switch) they will show. Wiring can get a bit fiddly too but we all know that anyway lol
 
I'm thinking these will be the ones I'll get. The conversion seems to be off because the price with the current exchange rate came to 800$ lol

Can I ask how much you saw them for?
 
I haven't received mine yet. I bought them a couple of days ago so they are still in transit.
I got them in anodized black so they should look great with my bars. Email them through there website and you can order straight through them. They gave me 30% off the listed price in the catalogue. Great guys to deal with.

What is the "holing open processing block"? is that a guide to drill holes in your bars?

Yeah its for lining up the holes properly but i have seen others install them without using the block. Thats what Im planning on doing.
 
Been looking at bar switches for a re-wiring I plan on doing sometime down the road. Found a few places of interest.


These are cool and a damn sight cheaper than most of the similar stuff, if not as slick:

This place has a very expensive but cool way to do two momentary switches for signals; I like it because I may be taking my signals on and off.

This guy has a lot of standard stuff:

Wow, great links AgentX.

I ended up buying a few Hot Grips plastic switch housings and planned to mount two small momentary switches with a latching relay for my indicators, but I didn't go through with it.

I have some of those tusk switches. Haven't put them on yet. I'll let you know how they turn out. The only thing I have heard is some people said there not very weather proof. It who knows how hard they were riding off road with them.

But we'll see, I think I paid 17.99 for it on sale so not breaking the bank.
