Handlebar control upgrades

[akdanno]

Has anyone found an upgrade for the left side handlebar controls? Or tried wiring in your own reverse switch? I'm thinking about installing my own momentary switch for reverse, getting tired of the finicky stock botton

I agree the reverse switch sure needs some help-and I would be in for a push to hold switch ( Momentary) and get rid of the weak plastic switch depending on exposed springs, that get iced up and stop working and is way to delicate to beat on to get the ice/snow out to make a contact to the ignite button protruding underneath a plastic stem.

I have seen handle bar control relocation kits but it doesn't solve the problem.

CFR bars/riser, sealed momentary push buttons for kill/reverse, hand/thumb warmers relocated to a single switch on the console and same with the high/low beam, munster finger throttle

^if those are the speedwerx switches they are crap imo. I still using 3 out of the 4 that havent failed yet though.

def not speedwerx, i knew better than to go with those crap switches.

Did you find a kit or wire them up yourself? I have the speedwerx kit on my 13 m8, and I'm disappointed with the lousy quality

it was a kit made by ethan moorhouse that i modified a little bit, he owns a shop in MN i believe

I just sent him a text,wanted to ensure that his style of switch would also allow it to use a e start.
Those look alot like the polaris reverse switch.

What brand are the switches? And how are they wired? I'm interested in details, looks like I'll have to build my own. Reverse is the most important one to me, the rest of the factory switches work fine

Any updates about this build ?

I did this on my sidewinder…it didn’t have the newer cluster but should be pretty easy.

Polaris switches for the hand, thumb, and dimmer. Munster for the reverse.

I’ve done it a few times. This time I got a bracket made. The rer skidoo buttons are push starts. Anyway the Polaris buttons are bullet proof.

@Turblue
SO how does the Munster or Skidoo reverse switch wire into our harness for e start - did you like one over the other?
Like the set-up in your last photo

It’s fairly detailed when I built my last sidewinder. I used the timer relay only so it kills power to the push button after time. So I don’t kick the starter over while riding.

I just tied the relay in the harness plug for the hood. I perfer the new style doo switch plus it’s cheaper than the Munster.

The only change I made to the drawing is I used a trigger wire to reset the timer relay as the power didn’t cycle to the key switch when the kill switch was cycled.

Sent you a P/M

I did the same thing on mine. It's very handy.
