    Default Help needed with right-side switch cluster for '14 RT-L

    My sister sent me a message this morning. Her Butler cup swung a little too fast, a little too hard, smacked into the cruise control switch. From the picture she sent me and what her husband described, the 'rails' inside the housing that the switch slides in might be broken.

    I know the usual solution is to replace the entire housing, but 1) it's very expensive and 2) there is a LONG backlog on parts.

    Does anybody here have one sitting on a shelf? Or do you possibly know of a CanAm salvage yard that might have one?

    IMO, slim chance one of those would be sitting on an owner's shelf or in some parts yard. Sometimes bullets have to be bitten. Cheap Cycle parts has Housing Switch, PN710003921, $449.99 in stock according to their web site, https://www.cheapcycleparts.com/oemp...tem-front-view.

    Thanks, Jay, that's what we have found so far. We were hoping there might be some leads on a salvage yard, too.

    Do the same thing I would have to do to give you any suggestions, a Google search for motorcycle salvage. Check eBay also. Lots of parts on there.

    I did an eBay search yesterday and came up with zilch. IMO, the most important mandatory characteristic of the Housing Switch is 100% reliability. Yes, one might find a replacement from a salvage yard but what are the odds of doing so and at what price, both in terms of the item itself and the dollar value of the time to replace? Unfortunately the OP's sister's problem is one we all face once our warranty runs out; ergo, my comment about the bullet.

    There was a recent post from someone with a wrecked Spyder that he was 'parting out'.

    Maybe someone else can find that thread because I've been unable to...
