Re: Headlight dimmer switch
Welcome to the forum! Since we don't allow general buying/selling on this part of the forum, I suggest you try some of the parts suppliers. MaxBMW has a good supply of /2 parts. Also you BMW Classic Motorcycles also carries an array of parts.

Re: Headlight dimmer switch
Apologies for using this thread, but I'm also having difficulties finding one for a reasonable price and am ready to install an AM solution, if there is any. Must not be a 100% copy, just something that will fit with regard to the knobs positions.
Thanks for any idea.

Re: Headlight dimmer switch
Hi Micha,
I would stick with the original type switch from Salis, Uli, or Meyer, unless you have thumbs like an orang-utan, because anything bar-mounted will be a good long way from your grip.
I know they are expensive but cheap switches don't last 5 minutes.

Oil is always cheaper than metal
