Thank you for the reply.
I may do that but right now money is tight (new bike, accessories, Sturgis is in 2 weeks...)
So I was looking for some ideas of where to mount the switch that came with it??
Ideas appreciated  Smiley

The previous owner of mine had drilled a hole in the headlight bucket and mounted a switch in the top of the bucket.  I didn't like that idea.  I don't even remember what that switch was for as the bike didn't even have a light bar on it at the time.  

When I mounted my light bar, I put one of those three toggle/rocker illumintated switches that you mount to the top of the clutch reservoir.  Like that much better.

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

You can always mount it somewhere (easy and convenient) on a piece of double sided tape until you find something better you like.  Pick a hidden and out of direct rainfall location you can reach from the seat.
