HANDEL BAR SWITCH RESTORATION SERVICE

Had my light/ind/horn switchgear refurbed and repolished by Switchguy Brown.
Contacts had gotten pretty dodgy, lights would sometimes turn off when you hit a bump. Got progressively worse over time until it shit itself for good 3kms from home, pitch black, no streetlights. Tried to catch up to some taillights about 300m ahead but when they disappeared around a corner I was now doing 120ks in the dark! I know that bit of road well but when I felt the gravel below I nearly shit myself. Anyhow, made it home safe and sent switch off to Switchguy.
Very quick to repair and return. Action of switches now much more positive. Very happy with his service.

Switch guy I am sure you will have found that Laverda's have sight connection changes (internally) to the Suzuki items and then there are Laverda switches which look the same but have a second set of internal connections, due to the differring requirements of a single phase Bosch alternator and a three phase ND alternator.

Can you be sure that the switches that anyone sends are the actual switches that will be returned and unchanged?
your group photo above is impressive, but those switches could have come from three or four differrent customers, do you send back the actual ones that are shiped out to you?

When I get asked about a switch/es I ask for a photo of the switch to see what you have and the work involved. And if. Find a problem inside,  take photo's and send in an email, what I found, and give The person a choice in what needs doing.. I have been asked before ..... IS IT THE SAME SWITCH? AS IT LOOKS NEW! .... Yes... it's what I do. All switches are tested, when I get them, and after when refurbished.. And tested again when boxing up to ship/send back.. So I know the switch/es are working fine.....

I can replace parts inside, as I have a lot of switches to choose from. So to your question... Yes I send back what I have been given to restore, and in my 4 years of refurbishing  other people's switches,  I have never send back the wrong switch to the wrong person, and ( you will like this bit) NEVER HAD A SWITCH BACK, AS NOT WORKING.. I put all switches back to standard/stock wiring, so if there is a problem, it's with the wiring on the bike that, as over time DIY electrician's mess about with the bikes wiring, and inside switches, I have found match sticks / block connectors/ bell wire/ cob webs/dead spiders/ and the best of all araldite rapid glue...

I hope this helps you, and puts your mind at rest, but if you are still unconvinced, just go back and see my unsatisfied customers I have done work for in the past. Switch guy..  P.s

What service do you offer?  :-*
 
Just refurbished a set of switch gear, and asked for white writing and not my normal orange ( see some of my past refurbs) So thought I would post on the forum..
All switches are completely stripped and new large screws (bright zinc)  and sleeving replaced, tested and returned, back to you.. (Most of my work in is done on the inside)I can paint the lettering in.. White/orange/light blue/ light green/ red/yellow/ please be specific on what colour you want, or you will get orange.. This colour option is at no extra cost to you.. I can replace the switch plastics knobs, at an extra charge if asked..

If you would like your switch gear refurbished, send me a message. Or  email me here..

Another set of chipped faded switch gear, refurbished tested and returned to the owner,  and fitted.. These photo's are from him, so I posted them here for you to see....









 
hello!

I make one bullshit again.. when I'was trying to dissasemble  the ignition switch, due to refurbishement  , I broke the small pin on  "Run" button.
Do anybody have the idea.. where to find it?  or how to repair this button.. The pin inside the button broked.. I can't add picture because I'm not home now for 4 days.. 

thanks
 
Oh, I misinterpreted what this thread is about. It's handle bar switches

A Handel bar looks like this ...  :D

Dunno, but take note: Accordion to the maestro himself, you need be instrumental in ensuring your Handel bar is well tuned, otherwise you could lose your rhythm and ride your jazzy classical moto off a bridge. I treble at the thought of landing flat at the base of a clef.
