Hi Steven,
Although not directed at me, this appears to be the same switch that I
mounted on my Ambassador. They are available numerous places. I bought
mine from EP&F, but I think MG Cycle has them, too.

Ware did you get that cool switch set to replace the pillbox ?

With the completion of my Jackal 1100S, work and vacation timing my Eldo
has been sadly neglected of late. It just gets ridden daily and stuffed
into the garage at night.
This past weekend I scheduled some time to re-awaken the loopframe
romance. Just the two of us in the garage with no distractions. First
priority was an update to the charging system. I put on an electric
regulator to replace the 30 year old mechanical one:

Preliminary unscientific testing suggests that while the top end of the
old reg was close to 14V it was sadly lacking at lower rpm. The new reg
shows a brighter headlight at idle and the genny light stays OFF.
I then binned the quaint snuffbox switches and moved into the 21st
century with a full rewire moving all handlebar functions to the left
side.

The Eldo start button looks cool but it had to go as well. I put the
starter on the key and got rid of those wires as well. Making room for
this:

The view of the cleaned up handlebars is excellent and the throttle lock
will be most welcome on longer jaunts down the slab. The new controls
work perfectly and my turn signals are bright and fire instantly,
important for NYC traffic situations.
I am waiting for Cam Conklin's post to the group on his new ride. How
about it Cam?
