Police switch - throttle cables

pumper316 · Feb 20, 2018

I plan on changing out my RH switch to a police switch in the coming week. Can I reuse the existing throttle cables or do I have get throttle cables specific to a police switch?

Thanks.

Had no issues on the 1100, throttle tube and cables fitted spot on.

If you're not sure go to one of the part houses sites and see if there is a different part number for both models or are they the same.

With the ST1300, when I mounted a cop switch on my 2012, I had to replace not only the cables, but also the handlebars!

The cop bars are about 1/2" longer to accommodate the larger switch.

Looks like my bike already came with the longer right side handlebar!
