Illuminated Housing Kits?
« on: September 02, 2010, 08:27:59 AM »
Since our days are getting shorter I do a lot of riding to work in the dark.
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as an illuminated housing kit for the controls so you can see all you switches on the handle bars?

Never heard of anything like that.... not trying to be a smart @$$ but as you ride/use the controls more the ones most used will become second nature and you will not (shouldn't) have to look at them. :nixweiss: Hell I don't think my ole eyes would be able to see/read them if they were illuminated.... at least at a quick glance while riding. :D

I agree but at this point I'm just kind of guessing although usually correct.

If it isn't second nature, practice in the garage until it is second nature. Those buttons need to be automatic without ever looking or thinking.

IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO OPERATE ALL OF THE HANDLEBAR SWITCHES WITHOUT LOOKING AT THEM, YOU SHOULD NOT EVEN BE RIDING IN THE DAYTIME.

Did not realize I typed in all caps. I guess I need to get some lights installed on my keyboard for night time typing.
