    Connectors were different on the one I bought from MikeXS. Inside electrics the same. I put new connectors on the wiring harness to match, or you can splice into the original switches harness.

          Hey Rowdy,

          I haven't used the MIkesXS ones, got some other earlier model XS11 set from a breaker, didn't have the ER flasher switch. I got a DPDT switch, spliced into the wiring at the flasher unit, and the harness to access both flasher sides. Ran the power from the flasher to the middle terminals, connected one pair of the end terminals to the turn signals, mounted the switch to the frame behind the left side cover. Works fine, and when the switch is thrown all the way to the other side, separates the circuits so that the turn signals still work. There might be a different way to splice into the wires near the switch but haven't investigated it that far, was done many years and much more ignorance ago!

            Y'all know that Mikes has chrome handlebar switches? They would look bitchin on a set of black bars.
