At least you didnt hit it when the bike was in gear and have it lurch forward 3 feet. I did that when I was returning a rental in vegas. They had to be thinking "he put 2000 miles on our bike without a scratch, its a miracle"

POlice spec bikes have the interlock.

I lost mine when I went to the hydraulic clutch, Magura didn't build the switch into it.

my horn switch is a paddle switch down where the rest of you would have radio controls I guess.

My "horn" switch is where the siren switch is, and that is currently just a red switch looking for an accessory to run.

I was thinking of wiring the aux. lights onto it, but with the Silverstar bulb, I don't need any stinking driving or auxilary lights, and am thinking of removing both sets I have on the bike.
