Great product and easy install

I bought this for my 2014 Dyna. It was easy to install and works perfect. I have extra security for the bike now.

Only complaint I had and why I can't give 5 stars is the part came with a small chip in the paint on the cover for the lock. The install was quick and easy. Love the black look and definitely cheaper than buying direct from Harely.

Great product, the quality of the switch turned out to be even better than stock.<br />Had to swap mine on my dyna because the stock switch got messed up due to the vibration, this one is holding up pretty well so far and the quality of this product is so good you'll definitely notice a difference once you install it, which by the way is an easy thing to do.

Working on taking all the chrome off my '20 RKS. This was an easy install. 4 screws and one plug. Works as expected and looks much better than stock.
