Switching switches?

[dave]

Over 1000 miles now on my 14. Lovin it! Well, love everything but that stupid left handlebar switch, which I just can't get used to. Switching between 3 bikes has all of them messed up. Someone started to pull out on me yesterday and I stabbed the turn signal cancel button instead of the horn. Really frustrating. Thinking of buying a left switch off a 2013 and installing it. Then the bike would be near perfection for me then.

For those possibly a bit more mechanical than myself, I'm thinking it would be a plug and play, don't you? Surely they wouldn't change the wiring harness on the bike for a switch change, or the color coding on the t/s wires, the horn wire, the hi/lo beam wire...But.. the order of the plugs into the snap connector might be different on the 13's?

Anybody have any thoughts on this?


BTW Gas mileage was up to 53 mpg on my fill up yesterday.

Hi Mr Ferret - I agree with you 100%! I am so glad you brought this up because I was thinking that I was the only one who would care about this. I switch rides between my 1998 VFR800 and CB1100, and I just can't get the hang of the CB1100 LH switch. If the switches between the 2013 and 2014 CB1100 are interchangeable then I will probably change mine too. Not to change the subject, but does the "N" (for neutral) light on the 2013 model appear on the LH meter while the gear shift indicator for every other gear is in the middle? I find this very annoying that every single gear position is in one location, except for neutral.
