    Are you sure? I know they bolt up nicely and everything plugs in but from what I know about the other TRX ones is the off/on switch is backwards. So when you have it in the off position it will start and when you have it on it wont. Let me know if this is the case.

    Well just remember when you install it and cant get your trike started, put it in the OFF position and start her up haha . The cool thing about that, is someone tries to steal your big red, they wouldnt be able to get it started in the ON position.

    Those pins in the plug do come out. If it is reversed, I'd just reverse the 2 pins and it will still be a great stock setup with no cut wires...

    You could put a relay somewhere on the trike and make that switch work. Let me know if you need a diagram of how to hook it up.

    Guys all you have to do is change the guts out of that switch. Everything will be fine then. Use your old Guts with the new hardware and harness. Not rocket science. I have done it twice.
