Sorry if this has been asked, I've done a search but don't seem to find much...

I'm looking for a replacement headlight/run switch for my sx. To be fair, I also need one for my 350x. Has anyone found a suitable alternate for their machines? OEM are very expensive on eBay, which is fair, but I don't need my trikes to be original.

I know I would need to deal with the choke, but I might be able to connect it to a hot start lever if I needed, or find one with a choke built in.

There are many Chinese ones, but I'm not crazy about the look of most of them, maybe one from a newer Honda quad, or maybe someone has sourced a decent Chinese one?
I'm well capable of electrical/electronics, so adapting connectors shouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

Anybody dealt with this?

Yes, ps2fixer is an electrical guru for sure! Has anyone heard from him? It's been a while since I've seen him post.

I bought one of these for my 350X before I knew about ps2fixer and the quality seems excellent, it even has the same manufacturer marking as my original switch on the back. But to be honest I haven't installed it yet so I don't know for sure how well it functions. The price is good though!

It'll be $100 CAD for me off eBay canada, but we always seem to pay almost twice what you guys down there do. Just the reality of being into motorsports north of the border.

I may try a PM to ps2fixer, just to see if he has any options before I pull the trigger, but keeping things original looking is a nice bonus.
