Drag Specialties Handlebar Switch Kit

Drag Specialties Handlebar Switch Kits: OEM Quality for the V-Twin Faithful

Drag Specialties has been a cornerstone of the Harley-Davidson aftermarket world since 1968, and that decades-long heritage shows clearly in their handlebar switch kits. For riders who want to restore, replace, or subtly upgrade the electrical controls at their fingertips, Drag Specialties brings the same exacting standards to switch kits that they apply across their entire V-Twin catalog.

What Sets Drag Specialties Switch Kits Apart

Drag Specialties handlebar switches work in the exact same manner as the OEM switches on the specific bikes they are designed to fit — meaning no puzzling modifications or wiring headaches during installation. These OEM-replacement switch kits feature color-coded leads with black protective sleeves and 60" leads, with individual switches also available separately. That color-coded wiring detail is a practical touch that experienced builders and weekend wrenchers alike will appreciate, making it straightforward to trace and connect every circuit correctly the first time.

Each kit covers the essential controls: headlight dimmer, horn, engine start, ignition on/off, and left and right turn signals — all with color-coded leads and black protective sleeves. For touring riders who rely on audio systems, Drag Specialties also offers a dedicated radio switch kit variant , ensuring that bikes equipped with factory or aftermarket stereos aren't left without a proper control solution.

Broad Fitment for Classic and Modern V-Twins

Drag Specialties handlebar switch kits meet or exceed OEM specifications and are designed to fit both U.S.A. and international models. Whether you're refreshing the controls on a vintage Softail, a mid-era Dyna, or a Sportster, there's a Drag Specialties switch kit engineered to drop right in. Certain configurations are available in matte black specifically for 1984–1995 Big Twin and 1984–1985 XL models , catering to builders who work on older iron just as much as those with newer machines.

Part of a Complete Handlebar Control Ecosystem

Drag Specialties handlebar switch kits don't exist in isolation — they're designed to integrate seamlessly with the brand's broader controls lineup. OEM wires and switches mount directly into Drag Specialties housings, so there is no need to source new wires and switches when upgrading the handlebar controls. Die-cast aluminum switch housings feature radiused edges, OEM-style clamps, smooth tops, and accept OEM-style switches and wiring — whether you prefer a chrome or blacked-out aesthetic. This modular approach means you can start with a switch kit and build out a complete control assembly at your own pace.

Founded in 1968 as a small drag racing parts shop in Minneapolis , Drag Specialties has evolved into one of the world's largest distributors of aftermarket accessories in the powersports industry. That scale translates into deep, model-specific fitment coverage that's hard to match — a key reason why V-Twin riders keep coming back to the brand for critical components like handlebar switch kits.
