Adding a lit switch

[Doc Harley]

Where are you guys mounting a 12v lit switch for accessories? Pics are cool.
Seems like the plastic above fuel fill would be good. However it looks tight with spars. Unless they make a shallow depth switch with 90° terminals?!?!

I was trying to find a specific switch...i found it. I'm working on something not too many people are willing to try, I'm installing a smoothie machine. Strawberry/banana...trailside. i think it's going to be a hit!
I'll keep ya posted, Redline..

Don't forget to tie in the blanket bottle warmer. The blue tank will not have enough pressure without a warmer on it. LOL

Finding a 12v flush mount lit switch that will fit that cavity was troublesome. Mostly cus all the electronics of the switch are below deck, obviously.
I'll definitely be the guinea pig on this one, but will definitely share the end result, when the time comes.

I had switch for spot driving lights down there. Didn't like having to reach to turn switch off every time I had oncoming sleds.
Rewired and tied into high beam switch on handlebars.
Use the switch now for fan...

Sounds perfect, as it should be.

Ya the stock seat warmer switch on my tcat never has fit correctly. Not enough room underneath. Switch keeps popping up out of the console

Any toggle switch fits fine in that area. Doesn't have to be anything special or low profile at all. I used it as a clutch fan before, but have since gone away from it as it did nothing really helpful at keeping clutch or belt cool at all. Now it just used to psych out the competition and get into their heads.

Probably so...some of these switches are 34mm deep. 90° female spade terminals can help out a bit. But you can run out of room pretty quickly. Lucky I found a 25mm deep switch with wires attached (no terminals) so you are able to fold wires that exit the switch.

That would aggravate my slight cast of OCD...lol. get a grip on that situation!! Lol.

Ya not a very good design cheap. Played around with it but not much u can do too much crap in that area where they put the switch. Switch doesn’t snap in very tight
