Hi are there any decent alternatives, with off, on, on with lights?
My Prs8 has vibrated off and no idea where it's gone so looking for a more modern key switch for use with kick starter (dominator 99 12v electronic ignition). Doesn't use the ability to start without battery.
Thanks.

Wouldn't it still be floating around inside the headlight shell?

It's the bakelite knob that's gone walkies. The collar it screwed onto is a mess. Can't find replacement parts.

The problem with generic replacements may be their length. There are aftermarket Harley sportster '79-'05 switches that would function as you want but may be too deep.
