OVERVIEW
This Drag Specialties starter relay switch serves as a direct electrical replacement for the factory unit on legacy Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Engineered with solid copper terminals and a corrosion-resistant plated housing, it restores dependable cranking power for owners maintaining early-era Sportster and touring platforms.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE
Built to manage high current draw, this relay maintains consistent voltage delivery during engine cranking, reducing the risk of weak or delayed starts. The solid copper terminals and copper contact disc minimize electrical resistance, ensuring efficient power transfer under heavy load conditions. Plated brackets and canister elements protect critical connections from moisture and road debris, extending service intervals between replacements. Designed as a direct OEM-fitment substitute, it bolts into established mounting layouts without requiring modification or adaptive hardware.
