It’s very frustrating turning on the wipers to indicate a turn and it doesn’t seem to matter how long I drove a European manufactured car, I still did it occasionally.

Did I start this digression?
Oh well, just wanted to point out the benefits of being intimately familiar with flash to pass trigger...which I can find much easier than horn button.

Ha ha ... no I was thinking more of redbirds' post. But, hey, it's the CB1100 forum where thread drift is the norm. Big Grin

As I use my indicators a lot more than my horn I put the 2014 indicator/ horn part on my 2013 and have them all the same now :2013, 2014 and 2017.
It feels a lot more "natural " to have the indicator button close to my dumb.

To add to the digression even further; when I drove a Toyota Land Cruiser Surf(very popular in the area) for the first time in Kabul, I was shocked to see the right turn signal activate instead of the wipers. Other drivers were equally shocked to see someone actually signal before a turn. It turned out that the owner of the Toyota had "imported" the vehicle from Pakistan, relocated the steering column to the left side but didn't bother with the indicator/wiper stalks Smile

I suggest, not only for you but for everyone, the purchase of modulating headlights. When mine is on, no one, and I mean NO ONE, left turns me or passes in my lane head-on.

I have very bright driving lights mounted that run on a dimmer from 10-50%, and when I hit the flash-to-pass trigger, they go to 100%. I also have it wired so that if I hit the horn, they go to 100% and the high beams turn on.

Great idea.
