Anyone have some good ideas how to mount some electrical switches to handlebars? I'm adding some fog/driving lights and seem a little lost on how to get a switch mounted on the rocket bars. I want to have about 3 switches total, for lights and other items. Haven't seen anything yet specific for the R3. If you know where to locate a switch block, please note the web address and the country its located.

Thanks,
JBR

You can simply mount a second Triumph switch block on the throttle side - looks neat, symmetrical and gives you four switches. I have done this, and used them for heated grips, factory fog lights, long range gas discharge driving lamps, and hazard lights (that is, all blinkers blinking, some clever wiring needed).
Cheers,
Einar

Thanks! Do you recall what that switch block from hardley cost? And what did each switch set you back? Your mod turned out looking good too! Thank heavens it didn't have some kinda hardley emblem on it or the bike might not have cranked up.....from what I hear, most R3's don't take kindly to HD gear mounted on them. :lol:
