Hi All i have a 2012 HDW trike with a CSC conversion can anyone tell me what the sliding switch is for on the right hand side of the gauge cluster just right of the speedo.

Many thanks Spencer

Haven't had much coffee yet, but sounds like something someone may have added? The only "sliding" things that I know of is under the left speaker (foot warmers) & the levers to the outside of each speaker for windshield adjustment.

Those circled in red are the lock levers for your adjustable windshield. In the up position you can adjust your windshield up or down. In the down position you windshield is locked in position.

The one circled in yellow is to open and close the foot warmer vent doors that are in the lower panels by the rider foot pegs.

We need a picture of the lever you speak of! Like trike tech posted, I know of no other OEM sliding levers than the ones he showed.

I don't remember how high your ground effects are on your CSC, but on my Hannigan kit, with the large ground effects, you will love those foot warmer vents. With protection from the wind that the ground effects provide, they really help to keep the feet warm. I made the mistake last Summer of turning them on during a ride in August and thought my shoes were going to melt. LOL

Looks to me like a wire wasn't tucked in behind the speaker housing...:Shrug::Shrug:

Got the flashlight out and checked my 2008 Gold Wing ... there is a slight vertical gap as you have and inside that speaker cavity there appears to be a “something” that looks like your “switch”... I can’t tell what it is but it is not protruding outside the speaker cavity.

I would assume that someone had that area apart and didn’t properly get all the wires/connections tucked back into the speaker cavity - as Rhino 2 suggests.

I’d tuck it in if possible and go on down the road.

You’ve got our attention for sure now.

Please let us know what it is/does when you find out.

Thanks.

That is the wire for the tweeter in the speaker grill. I've seen them not get tucked properly & show through countless times. I "borrowed" one of the pictures Fuzzy used in his lcd replacement write up (hopefully he doesn't mind) & circled the loomed wire in red to show it. It's quite simple to "miss" getting the wire tucked behind the dash cover when reinstalling, I've done it myself once or twice (at least that's all I'll admit to ). I can certainly see how one might think it's some kind of switch or lever with the ribbing on the loom used on that wire.

I picture might help. I have a 2012 with a new CSC kit and do not know of a slide switch except for the ones for the windshield release.
