Is it possible to install the 10-11 grip housing. That way we could get the OEM switch.
Nothing worse than having your balls go missing.
Before I return and get the other switch pack will someone confirm that we need on when pressed?
I like Bud's approach of mounting the switch in the original switch housing and I found suitable switches at RS, although not labeled water proof. But a question comes up as RS had some momentary swiches available in either "on" or "off". I assumed that we need a switch that is on when pressed but I guessed wrong as which pack to buy: on when pressed or on when not pressed. The lovely sales girl was no help. She confided that she was "not any good with switches". Before I return and get the other switch pack will someone confirm that we need on when pressed?Thanks
Thanks Bud. The 4 packs were not labeled as to whether they were normally open or closed. There were trays with labels but most of the packs were obviously in the wrong trays! Anyway I found another switch that I like better. Wider and lower profile. As for water proofing I have had a couple cockpit panel mounted non waterproof toggle switches for my heated grips on two bikes a total of 175,000 miles and have never had any rain or washing related problems.Here's the one I like:

I like the looks of that one the best. It seems the most OEM'ish of the bunch. Looking at these dimensions though:Mounting hole: .48"Bezel diameter: .55"Button diameter: .35"Length overall: 1.03"Length of threads: .26"Hex nut size: 9/16" or 14mmI am not sure if I can find room in the factory housing. Anyone that has had it apart care to comment?
