    Orange rocker switch

    Is there a source for the orange on/off rocker switch on the right controls. PPO clipped the wire so close if I don't get a new one, I'll have to learn how to solder. I'd like to get a new one anyway. Thanks!

    solder is easier and cheaper than getting a new one. why did they clip the wire in the first place?

    if you got a new one you would have to solder it on anyway, unless you bought the whole switch assembly

    Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

      Soldering is a useful skill working on these old bikes, and easy too. I learned when I was maybe 10 or 12, so I'm sure you'll have no trouble picking it up.

      Go get you a cheap iron and some light gauge rosin-core then practice on some old or junk electronics. I guarantee it will be cheaper and easier than sourcing a new part.

        A small soldering gun type would work best on your MC
