Right side switch assembly

[Tom Neimeyer]

Some additional info, if your bike has not been messed with or if it has been worked on properly, the connecters are in alignment grooves. This keeps the wiring neat and out of the way of the headlight however, it can be difficult sliding them out. Work a little slack in the wire and wiggle them out. If you have a camera available, you might take a picture before you start moving stuff.

After you replace the pod, be sure to keep the old pod, it is a good source of parts especially the white connector on the end.

Cheers, Tom

Well thanks to EMS my 79 is back on the road with a new switch! Man what a PITA to disconnect that coupling behind the headlight! Then, the throttle cables where they connect to the switch housing...man! Actually it was easier than I expected though and it seems to work just fine! Looks like it came with the bike! Only one problem, two small pieces on the rim of the headlight bucket cracked off. Old and brittle I guess. For now I have black tape over the two voids behind the chrome ring, one on top and one on the side, but I guess I should get another bucket....

On other forums I frequent, they have what's called, a Pay It Forward Thread. Members post what extras they have and others respond with what they might need if available. For example, a scratched fender is great is you don't have a fender at all. Maybe a thread like that would be nice around here. On that note, I have the OEM seat for my Prolink minus the attaching hardware (used on the Corbin seatpan) that is just hanging in a bag in my garage.

Oh, one more thing, the switch I removed did not have a locating peg but the handlebars had a hole for one that fit the peg in the one Mike sent me perfectly.

Thanks again Mike and all who responded!
