T3 Headlight Switch

[smsw]

Many years ago I changed the right hand switch (kill, starter) with a more modern switch from a Honda(?) or other bike.  I've since forgotten what I used.  Has anyone replaced the left hand switch - Indicator/Horn/Lights - with a switch from a more modern bike?

What did you use?

I have this one on my Convert and it works very well:

Greg Bender makes this adapter to hook it up easily:

I use this one on my 850-T because I'm as dumb as I look. Just a retched switch, but it looks cool!

I believe the quote when I told Greg I wanted to use this switch was... "Why?"

    Yup, Greg is on top of his game. Just last summer I used the K&S and with Greg's pigtail was quick and easy plug in and go type of deal.

Despite the skepticism (deserved) I did manage to get all the functions to work with my bike. It had a Yamaha switch with nightmare wiring. But eventually everything worked as it should. Which surprised even me!

I had to re-solder  the new repop switch on my SP in order to have turn signal operation work consistently. One of these days the LM4 / Cal 3 left side witch I have been saving will get reconfigured and installed. https://i.ebayimg.com/thumbs/images/g/BakAAOSw3RZaLxoX/s-l225.jpg

The coolest thing about the esoteric Guzzi OE-type switch is that you can turn the headlight OFF, for full juice on starting or whatever other reason.  Once you get used to the unusual configuration, the switch actually works well - The one on my V50 is 38 years old and still works like new.

You can turn the headlight off with the K&S switch I linked to as well.

That stock switch is not too bad, at least they are functional (although I hate the thin plastic housing). The switches on my T5 are just awful, and besides that the levers and master cylinder are all integrated, which I do not like (harder to repair anything, you always have to remove it all).

I got some off of Ebay.
