Switches...switched

[the Ferret]

For me the 14 DLX is nearly prefect. Just one flaw that has caused me much consternation. Honda in it's infinite wisdom after years of having one left switch layout, turn signal switch in the middle, horn button on the bottom (like my two other bikes which I alternately ride) decided all of a sudden to reverse the location of the turn signal and horn buttons. Any given day may have me riding any given bike. Hopping from bike to bike, has got my muscle memory all messed up. I go to indicate a turn and blow the horn, or go to blow the horn and " cancel" the turn signals that weren't even on. Just today after washing the CB I stopped at a buddy's house about 6 miles up the road. Pull into his drive and see the garage open so I tooted the t/s switch to let him know I was there......arrgghhh

So this afternoon I went over to my brothers house and we swapped out the stock L/H switch for a 2013 L/H switch.

NOW... It IS perfect lol

BTW it was pretty much plug and play OTHER THAN again Honda, in their infinite wisdom, moved the locator pin in the switches, and we had to drill a new hole in the bars for the switch locator pin on the 13 switch. All in all I am very happy with the mod.

Thanks again to Elipten who fortunately for me decided he liked the 14 switch layout better, so replaced the switch on his 13 with a new one from a 14 and had a 13 switch left over.
