Handwarmer switch


This is the new handwarmer switch. To get an idea of its location think where your legs are when you're riding. Its just above and in front of your left knee. The old switch had been a toggle switch and somebody's knee must have hit it because it was broken clean off. Its one of those where in retrospect its in a really bad place. This switch is in exactly the same spot but only 1/4" or less thick so other than turning off the handwarmers hitting it with my knee shouldn't hurt anything.
While installing the switch I found that the low power connector was badly wired. I cut it back a little, tinned the wires and soldered on the connector. Both high and low power settings work fine now.
