Looking for the control bracket for the left handlebar. Yea, the big
one, with mirror bracket, blinker switch, horn etc. Bike fell while
lubing the chain on the side stand. (makes SEARS motor lift a must).
ReaLLY, the bike hit the bumper of the truck and cracked the plastic
around the gas cap and only cracked the handlebar control bracket, but
it popped off the headlight high-low rocker switch, destroying the
"inner" rocker switch. Any ideas to "toggle" switch hook up or OEM
replacement available? Thanks
