My turn signal button broke inside the housing.  Is there any where other than a dealer I can get a new turn signal housing?  I spoke with someone at Inzane but forgot the website
Thanks

Pinwall has a lot of those exact parts (the whole assembly) and they are very reasonable.

Should the aforementioned turn signal button be lubed?  If so with what?   White lithium grease with the small red tube to enter the slots next to the button?

A can of electronic cleaner/lube from CRC or Radio Shack (with the small red tube) is good for all the handlebar switches..... especially after every wash or rain ride.

Radio Shack TV-Tuner/ control & lube, model 64-4315 . . .  $10.99 seems to be the better choice because it is also a lubricant as well as a cleaner. 

The Ace CRC Marine electronic cleaner is not a lubricant , it runs $7.55 to 8.39.

I take mine completely apart every 3-4 years, clean it with electronic parts cleaner and lube it with dielectric grease. Be sure to clean the tiny detent ball on the back side. Works easily for a long time then. cooldude

Yes.  Try to insert the skinny tube into the switch internals, squirt and gently work the switch.  Use under the side covers, locks and ignition too.   

I'm not adverse to taking switches apart and doing a better job, but have never needed to.
