I find it odd that Honda uses a rocker switch to toggle between main beam and high beam, and a separate switch for flash-to-pass. I'd much prefer to see the flash-to-pass switch used for both functions. At rest, the main beam is on. Pull it in for flash-to-pass. And push it out for high beam.

This would allow Honda to remove the main beam / high beam toggle and replace it with the turn signal switch. Then, the horn button could be relocated back to its rightful spot at thumb level.
I dont know whether it would be that simple or not either. Maybe we have some electrical Gurus here on the forum that can take a peek at the wiring diagram for an informed opinion as to whether or not it would work that simply. I am guessing all we are talking about is juice and ground for each switch, and I would not think there would be any significant difference in current draw between the two functions.

After looking at a diagram it works like this;
1; horn and brake light are supplied by a 10a fuse ( # E ) and the horn switch supplies 12v to a black wire to both horns, apparently 10a is sufficient.

2; the "flash" switch supplies 12v to the high beam BUT it is connected to the blue "high beam" wire internaly together with the high-low beam black rocker switch.

so although they both supply 12v the blue high beam wire has to be disconnected inside the handlebar housing and re-routed to the headlight bucket where it can then be swapped for the new function unless you change the handle bar housing internally ( swap the black for the blue wires )Confused

I vaguely remember a similar query some time ago and i'm with peking duck's idea.
