Horn/Flash Button Reverse Idea

[pekingduck]

I think that if you have to think about it for even one micro-second, it partly defeats the purpose. If you've learned one way for 40 years, that reaction of instinct/panic is critical. On my 2014, I changed to a 2013 switch just for that reason.

I've put 100k miles on a couple 1st gen 650 V-Stroms, and Suzuki, on their 2012 models, changed the trigger finger high beam switch into one that changes meter mileage modes. I tried every way to re-wire that switch but couldn't, eventually trimming the trigger down and adding an external micro-switch for the flasher below it. Not as natural to activate, but better than "changing to trip meter B" at an oncoming car.

I have to think that the new young designers do not grasp that there is no beneit to some of their arbitrary or ignorant changes.
