With the new CustomLED brake light, there is an option to use a toggle switch to control a strobe feature on the light or you use the toggle switch to change the programing on the light. CustomLED does sell a toggle switch or you could use something from Radio Shack. My question is...has anyone installed some type of toggle switch for any type of after market controls on your Stryker? If so, where did you find a good spot to mount something...any pictures?

I looked around for a 1" handlebar switch and they are hard to find an/or very expensive. So I'm looking for suggestions!

The sooner I figure something out, the sooner I will post reviews on the new CustomLED light!

Thanks.

Much better choice for a bike IMO. There are plenty of panels you can drill a hole in and mount this type. They are more expensive but look great and come in all colors.

Google Bulgin vanadal switch.

That looks awesome. I will have to add something to use this switch now. ;D

I also found one in black with blue lights. If you look at the manufature you can also see other light colors on amazon. Now if these are weather proof I do not see.

Do you need a switch that does momentary AND constant or just one or the other? You'll narrow your toggle switch choices from there.

After spending $40 on an L.E.D. tag I didn't want it to be on every time I cranked the bike up. Also, I wanted to see if I could find a cool place for a switch. I ended up installing the switch under the tank using the left rear tank mount bolt and a piece of stainless. I painted the metal black with a chrome toggle switch. If you don't know its there you can't even see it.

I use to have a wireless remote for my LED light untill the **** casing broke? But i put mine under my tank and have had it their since last year but no bolt on needed.... I used some 3m industrial velcro and has staid ever since i can post up a pic once i get mine back from the shop??? Had to cancel my road trip to a car show this Sunday cuz i had a screw stuck in it and the **** tire is bald again.... They wanted to slap on some 240's but i changed my mind and want to stick with my O.G. 250 so its on special order and should get it tomorrow....... Minus well have them install my Lowering Spring too while the wheel is off!!!

I'd been meaning to take some pictures but haven't gotten off my butt and done it. I'll take some tomorrow.

Here is where I mounted my swich for the LEDs.

Just under the tank, with some double sided tape. I can access it easily while riding and it is out of sight.

I took some pictures today.

 

[christopher]

Shes dirty right now. I'm getting ready to pull the wheel off so I can patch the tire. If you look in the center you can see the nail waving at you.

Thanks for the toggle switch location recommendation Christopher. I made a small bracket out of a composite plastic and mounted it in the same location, Except I have the switch towards the seat from the bolt as oppposed to away from it. You can check out the pictreus on the CustomLED thread.

 

[christopher]

Yeah, I was looking at your pics last night. It looks good.
