  1. As expected, I couldn't find what I had in my head, so I replaced the one steel toggle with a set of color coded (lighted) rocker switches. One for driving lights, one for aux lights and one for future led's. Being somewhat of accident prone:shock3:, I did screw up and installed two of the switches rights on the edge of the fairing so I had to make a cut out. Oh, well!! Everyting turned out pretty good and I am pleased with the result except for the fact that one of the switches went on the fritz right after I tested and reassembled eveything . That'll have to be another day.

    From the album: lights

  3. I found something similar to that, three seprate switches in a mounting block. really hoping to find one unit with three toggles/rockers. Much like the european light switches for house lights where the rockers are touching. I'l keep looking or find a different solution:)
  4. I have found rocker switches, toggle switches, push button switches, water proof caps for any, mounting plates for multiple switches, but I have NOT found a single switch housing with two or three rockers/toggles. Does such an animal exist and if so where? Thanks!
  5. After not riding for 25 years I purchased another Royale. Having to do some work on it to get things back to where i'd like them. Here's one. After replacing the speakers I discovered the cassette deck still works fine. It just needs a little nudge in FF to get it to play. I would like to find the cover that goes over it if someone has it. The radio took a little more work, after cleaning the contacts I now have a radio that works without having to hit it. I do still have some minor issues; I am getting static from the speakers with the bike in gear from idle up to about 2500RPM (not sure since it is hard to tell when driving). Also get feedback from the speakers when I turn on the ignition switch, it's like the hissing you used to get when a (tv)station went of the air but much softer. Any suggestions? I took the two button remote apart to see what I could see. It now works as well. One minor problem, I had three springs roll out of it; two to hold the metal balls for the contacts and one slightly longer, thinner one. No clue where that fits, but no biggie since the remote works. Just curious! Lastly, since I cleaned the contacts and got the radio to work it seems that i've had more E4 errors. Coincidence or are they connected some way.
  6. if I might throw my similar problem in here? I recently re-purchased a '83 After dsriving it back from Ohio I learned that the entire breaksystem was basically shot. After e new rear disk (missing shim) new pads, re-plumbing and cleaning of the reservoirs, I still have the brake indicator come on every so often. It will come on for a while and go back of. Since all but the main cylinder is replaced, I am wondering if it is the sensor itself that is messing up? The same question could actually be applied to the oil light and fuel light. thanks in advance.
