Default 06 FLSTCI passing lamp switch..UGLY?

I have an 06 FLSTCI with (what I think) is the UGLIEST toggle switch in the universe. Granted, it is pretty much hidden from everyone else, AND.....I am *nal about everything (says my wife) I was wondering if anyone has any ideas how to dress this tiny part up a bit. I have searched and searched, but this is the only thing I have found that is close:

But I am not sure I like the pointed shape.

Skip it and get back to work?............

I'll start with,I want to helpyou move past this,please do not take offense..............

Are you kidding? Seriously, you may have the worst case of cabin fever I ever heard of. It's a toggle switch, that's it, get over it,move on.

Again, I hope this helps you move past this and have a great day.

I used to be into old Radio Transmitters and Receivers that used Toggle switches for everything. When I saw that big old toggle switch on my bike it brought back some cool memories and I was happy to see it.

Dear Hardley Riding........


THANK YOU. SERIOUSLY.

I have only owned my bike for 11 mos., and I have never felt these strange sensations before. It is currently:

(Tonight: Mostly clear, with a low around -8. Wind chill values between -11 and -21. West wind between 7 and 10 mph.)

And I have frequent dreams about warm sunny days with my 'mistress'.....you have confirmed my suspicions that I have a bad case of Harley Fever. It doesn't help that it is stored in a heated garage 25 miles away.................

I hate you guys in places with theeverlasting sunshine.
Its snowed every day for the past week or so, not much accumulation, but it still more than I want to brave on a bike. I'll admit to being crazy, but I draw the line atbeing stupid.
Bad as it is at least I don't live in Parish NY,about 60 miles east of me.

How about just removing it, extend the wiring and relocate it below. I was going to do this since I didn't want to drill into a nacelle but decided to go ahead and drill. Anyway, just an idea...add the digital clock at the same time.
