My brother is having starting issues that we are working through...

Good info here on starter upgrades that I've noted.

His (original) handlebar assembly is VERY worn-out; I tried JHP for a replacement for 65040062A and they appear to be not made anymore???

I see little point in buying a used item from a breaker and wonder if anyone has tried newer - I actually have a Hyper 1100 start switch (somewhere) so will be looking at that but my splicing skills are not brilliant!

Next, Starter relay replacement 39740011A
JHP quote £40 which is not excessive but, is there something better?
I read somewhere of a Yam unit being good.
Electrex was my first choice but their's is generic (eg not plug n play).

I change the solenoid on my 900SS for a unit from from a Mini car of all things, it needed an earth of its own and was larger then OEM but worked well for years.

Thanks in advance.
