day before yesterday the spanish popout ign switch on my speedster craped out and i had a ride planned for today. i road a 76 harley for 29 years and would pickup a 3 position ign switch at any auto supply reasonably cheap if i remember. they would last a few years until the vibration got them. these switches had 3 screws on the back b+, ign, and acc. no one seems to carry this switch any more. i found a switch at napa that had studs on the back, one of which i had to cut short to keep it from hitting and shorting out. i found a switch on ebay or amazon listed as a model a replacement and looks like the switch i used to run my harley, but they are $60.00 + you can find all kinds of ign switches in the $20.00 range. the after market kit carried by some of the suppliers i think uses the switch i'm looking for. i've already cut back the cable and want just that compact universal switch. any ideas?
