Motorcycle Repair: 1999 Honda Shadow Ace Deluxe, honda shadow ace, rube goldberg

Question
Hi Mark,
The handlebar start switch on my Honda quit some time ago. We took it apart and appears the contacts under the switch was botched from the factory. When it was crimped together it was broken from new. Rube Goldberg'd it and it worked for a couple of months. Today it quit again. Can you buy just this switch *and what would it be called*. I called the local Honda dealer and he wants to sell me a whole wiring harness. I don't think so. What are your recommendations?...thanks in advance

Answer
Hi Diane,

Check Bike Bandit for a OEM part price:

www.bikebandit.com

When their website open, click "OEM Parts" and then select the year, make, and model from the drop-down menus that appear. When the parts microfiche opens, navigate the menus until you locate the switch. Prices are displayed on the screen.

Bike Bandit is very fast and friendly.

Check eBay for new and used switches.

Respectfully,
