WTB: Left hand control switch for 1996 K1100 LT

[beemrdon]

Need a Left handlebar control switch for my 1996 LT; part #61-31-2-306-058...same unit is also used on R1100 RT's.
This later model control switch incorporates the windshield up-down control, unlike the pre-1995 switches.

Willing to pay a fair price for a unit in good working order.

Yeah, thanks racinrich. I saw that on flea-bay. I can buy a new one from BMW for $232. I'd rather do that than pay $169 for a used one from Dunk...Only about $60 difference.
I now know another guy that sometimes posts on this board who will sell me one for $116 plus shipping but after some research, I found one for $89. , shipping included....Anyway, it IS used. If I don't buy it, it will probably eventually be thrown out. That's the way I look at it.
My understanding from reading the various K boards is that all of these switches eventually go to hell. I will try to take mine apart and
 clean it out so that when the used one that I bought finally goes out, I'll have a spare to install and if I screw it up...oh well...
Thanx for the reply.
