I have managed to make up some small oval shaped covers for the switch blank which is meant for the clock adjustment switch (i think?). They are made from brass and nicely chrome plated and are complete with the switch, wires and rubber boot for sealing. I'm selling them for $35.00 + $5.00 postage (Australian dollars). I know that seems like a lot but they are very labor intensive. Send me a PM if your interested for more info. Thanks.

Nice work, what does the switch activate? I've toyed with the idea of moving my driving lamps to the opposite spot (I have a clock).

I've already got my order in for one - Stewart does great products. They don't operate any particular switch Al, it's just a general purpose switch for anything you care to use it for. I've currently got the switch for my driving lights where the alarm LED is supposed to go, so that 2nd switch is going to be for my hazard lights. Sick of fumbling under the tank for the switch.

Hazard lights, another thing I've been meaning to do. Running out of winter mod time here!

If you're handy with a soldering iron they're only a 1-2 hour mod, and really worth doing.

Matt's 4-ways
It doesn't look too bad. I have my front signals mounted under driving lamps and the wires running through the bar. All of your connnections are made before the signal wires terminate, right?

There's connections either side of the flasher unit to provide power when the bike's switched off and to override the turn signal switch. There's also a connection that breaks into the wiring for each side of the turn signals. Since you're working around the flasher unit area the easiest place to break into the signal wiring is at the alarm wiring, where the alarm feeds the turn signals. You won't have to bother the wiring going through your lightbar to the turn signal lights.

Great idea Shaun
Hadn't actually thought of doing that.
Actually Matt (Sandman) made the site for me,,, he's such a brainiac.
