stereo control for handelbars
I am getting a stereo for my faring that comes with the wiring to use your switches on the steering wheel in a car. does someone make a switch that I could use on the handelbars that would work with this setup?
could I use the hand controls from a vaquero or voyager

My Kenwood marine stereo had a remote that you can mount on the handle bar but they are a little bulky in size but will work. I haven't seen a universal control that will work with my stereo.

I acttualy thought about going to a junk yard and getting a steering wheel and gutting the switch out of it.
sony use to have a knob switch that would run the hole unit back before remotes were popular

I have one similar to "zooms". it's a bit smaller I think. It's wireless and is for the Alpine head unit. Works just fine.

I thought about mounting up on the handelbar by the left hand Im making my own custom bars so I could incorperate a mount into them the remote really would be best although this is a big 2din 7" flatscreen with dvd,gps,bluetooth,I-pod. I dont know how much of that the remote will control.Im trying to mount it so I can reach the screen without to much trouble

your remote should controll everything you need to operate while riding if I get a chance I will take a pic of mine and post it.

I realize this is no help, but that's one of the reasons I bought my new bike with a fairing - to have the integrated controls on the switch housings.
The JVC stereo I had in the Reckless fairing on my Nomad had a remote, but I didn't mount it anywhere because I thought it looked cheesy. I'm a form over function kind of guy.

If I could afford a vaquero One would be setting in my shop right now and I would be modifying the shit out of it but money is the one thing I dont have alot of. I do have skills though so with them I can have form and function

Im thinking more along the lines of ebay
and the controls off just about any bike kawai would be ideal but maybe one off a gold wing or anything I really liked the other dudes idea about making the remote work build some kind of cool housing for it? but if i could find a handelbar control I would definatly check into it

I found one of those Sony marine controllers on eBay.
as soon as my stereo arrives I will find out if it is conpatable. It is big but I can make a housing to mount it under the left hand control Sony also makes wireless controllers but i don't know if they are conpatable either

If you're talking about one like this http://www.crutchfield.com/p_158RMX6...ml#details-tab , it's HUGE. It's sort of supposed to take the place of the stereo (so you can mount the stereo out of sight). 3 1/2" diameter and 1 1/2" deep.
