Fits standard on 1980's Honda and similar motorcycles.

I have already received one of these. This went on for about 3 years before the horn button went out of alignment and pressing it only worked half the time, which wasn't overly secure - I don't want it to be a coin toss the moment I really need it . my horn. Otherwise, the old device worked great and cost 8 dollars for 3 years. no complaints. For my installation I had to modify the wiring harness a bit. I removed the ground wires and replaced them with headlights. Quite simply with pliers. You…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Communication with seller

This assembly has a function to turn off the headlights!

WARNING: For those put off by the lack of a headlight off setting, please read this. The headlight switch is actually a three position switch. The top cover (the part that the headlight switch protrudes through) has an opening large enough for your switch to move from LOW to HIGH. Removing the top cover and filing the hole will allow your switch to move to the lowest (OFF) position (with the assembly removed from the handlebars) 1) Use a small flat head screwdriver, gently pry off the headlight

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Good but not great

My problems with the switch are VERY small wire if you plan on high beam should You better use a switch to control a high quality 5 pin Bosch relay. This test lead will NOT work with high current. that's what i ended up doing. The following is not a schematic, and the colors of my wires don't match the previous post. Finally, one of the terminal screws became so tightly jammed in the case that attempting to loosen it began to shear. Luckily I was only able to attach it to the handlebars with…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Probably the most reliable left side controls for the price

Hard to beat this $9 product. The turn signal switch does not automatically center and must be pushed in to break off. You click in the specific direction you want to turn and keep moving until you bring it back to the center. In fact, I like it a lot because I no longer forget to turn off the indicators. The finish isn't very good, but the aluminum body is solid. I didn't have much trouble connecting this thing. I didn't use the low beam cable as my low beams come on automatically when I turn…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

WIRING DIAGRAM EXPLANATION

The IN switch is as follows: Blue/White = 12 volts from battery to headlight power (to high/low switch) Lime = 12 volts from battery to horn (to Push button switch) for horn) Gray = 12 volts from battery to turn on turn signals (turn left or toggle switch) The OUT switch is as follows: White = low beam Dark Blue = high beam Dark Green = horn Light Blue = right turn Orange = left turn ( Some people call it red or bright red, it looks orange to me.) Okay, here's a more detailed schematic for this

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • So far so good

If you're looking for a switch that holds, look elsewhere.

This is for 7/8" aluminum light switch, horn, turn signals. Turn signal and horn contacts stopped working after 5 months. Headlight contacts fell off within two months while driving a pair of 15 watt LED Headlights W off. An autopsy of the defective switches revealed that the contacts had overheated and had broken off. The headlights were wired directly, but operating current from the horn and turn signals was routed through the relay to relieve the workload. Apparently the 2.1 Watts to drive…

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • boring packaging

I really like that some of these, like Benjamin Taylor's, can be easily modified to add a third headlight off position. Mine and some other people don't. It can still be made to work, but it will take more time and skill. For those with an /only/ on/off switch, here's what I did to add an "off" position to my switch. The whole process took me 30 minutes of efficient and careful work. Remove the two outer screws to separate the assembly. Remove the two internal screws to remove the high/low beam

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Nothing here
