    These are on the bike ('80 FXLS-based chopper) I'm taking care of for my buddy while he's overseas with the Navy. As you can see, a couple of the little plastic buttons are missing. (mea culpa, I knocked them off when I went for a test ride last year; my buddy never replaced them.) I'm new to the whole bike thing, so please excuse my ignorance if there are something obvious like the factory controls.

    Thanks,
    Jim

    yup. the mid/late 70's to mid or so 80's. the smaller buttons were for the horn/start and turnsigs..............the buttons are replacable........:)

    Are those little covers something I could get at my local Harley store, or is this more of a resto/used part? I haven't been to the dealer down the street, but I need to get me a helmet anyway so I'll have to check it out.

    Thanks for the link. I'll take a look at it. Is there some place I can get just the caps? The one thing this bike has going for it is that it was just rewired.
