[QUOTE="flying junior, post: 547726, member: 3575"] Here is the failed solder contact from my '04. [IMG]https://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm149/wpkitty/failedswitch.jpg[/IMG] Brodie's new ones are mucho better. Look how big that solder blob is on the brown wire. Best I can tell, my replacement switch ($175) is not of the new design. I paid a locksmith to re-key it so I wouldn't have to carry a second key. What I also did, though, was to buy one of Brodie's relays and tuck it away in there between the new switch and the terminal block. Fits like it was made for it. Nothing spoils your ride like having the ignition switch let go while you're splitting lanes on a Bay Area freeway at 5:15 p.m. on a weekday. It's also kind of hard on your laundry as you sweat out how to get that big motorcycle off the pavement without an engine with all those cars around you. Brodie was a prince and expressed me a new harness and relay to get me back on the road. I'm going to see if my dealer can get my switch included in the recall, even though my '04 reportedly does not come under the recall. [/QUOTE]
