Default Shotgun Shock alternative switches

I've just mounted 2 press button switches in my handle bar lever clamps the right side slams it and the left side brings up the height. Basically i've divided the left side switch (rebound switch) on the the original horn bracket into 2 separate switches. The other switch i will divide into 2 again with the same press button switches and will mount them in the console somewhere.

I drilled the clamps out, tapped them and countersunk the head into the clamps a bit being they are not flat. I then drilled the handle bars and internally wired them up.

I wanted to be able to slam the **** off her when i rock up without having to take my hands off the bars and mess around looking for the switch by the horn. Have a look for yourself.

I was wondering about the switches for the shotgun shock. That looks factory. IMO a mod that looks factory is the best kind. Very clean and very nice!
