Sparx MKIII handlebar switch reviews?

Anyone with personal experience on the quality of these? Good, bad, indifferent? At the time I did up my MKIII, I don't think these were available. Even though I have modern stuff on it at this time, I'm thinking about going back to a stock setup with sleeved MC. My original stuff was really, really bad, and I found a home for it. Thanks in advance!

Can you post a link to these, picture? I'm looking into switch alternatives so I might take yours off your hands if you want. Thanks, Glenn

Hi Glenn,

here is what I'm using at this time. I've got another MKIII project with all this stuff missing that I'm saving these for. They worked out good, though. Everything I have on here is readily available.

I have the Sparx setup on both sides.

The left hand side fit is the same excepting the mirror mounting (not threaded like the OEM - I don't have a mirror there, so no ready solution to offer).

The right side fits like OEM, but the wiring does not terminate in the same sort of connector as the MK3 switch gear. You will have to make wiring changes on one or both ends depending on what sort of connectors you have on hand.

Even though everything functions correctly, I don't think the switch gear moves with as much positive location/tactile feel as the original stuff.

The color seems to be a near perfect match.

The kill switch only goes from OFF to ON, not OFF - ON - OFF like the OEM.

I have Sparx switches on my MK III. I have had them on the bike for several years now. The only issue I have is with the turn signal switch. For the right indicator, it works fine. For the left indicator, I have to move the switch all the way left and then push it back toward the center a bit to make contact. It is probably fixable, I just haven't done it yes.

I got mine from Old Britts. You might check with them and see what Fred thinks of them.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I saw a left hand switch on a 2002 Moto Guzzi LeMans that is a little thinner than most & in my opinion better looking so I think Im headed that way.
