The Euro switch was the only one I could find a year ago. It worked fine and figuring out the headlight was tons of fun. Hint, the USA headlight relay needs attention.justoneoftheguys wrote:If you take the switch apart, do it in a large plastic bag so the ball bearing and spring will be caught.
You might start saving up for a new switch. They aren't really that expensive considering how long they last and all they do for you.

The second switch is the "Euro" switch that allows you to turn off your headlight.
This is really good.khittner1 wrote:"Buy a new one" as a first response wouldn't seem like the Airhead Way. Isn't there a lengthy webpage treatise available on handlebar switch rebuilding techniques, complete with sidebars on various solder types and techniques, competing plastic epoxies, supply houses for replacement springs, detent balls, etc., discussions about the merits and shortcomings of using various solvents, lubricants, water dispersants, etc. on delicate mechanisms and circuitry?
