Randy realized I have a 71 Triumph Bonneville, which is so much cooler than his Harley he just had to throw the towel in.
Hehe. Who said I had a Harley? Besides, a Triumph, originally built before you were born, whose 50 pieces are stored in fruit crates still isn't as cool as something you can actually ride

And I'm with rampy. As long as the grommets aren't rotted and the ball-tops are in good shape, leaf-switches are cheap and it will work like new.
Hmmm....surprised nobody has come up with a retro-fit so the new sticks can use leaf-switches......
