I have what I'm pretty sure is a Domino L/H switch on my G5. I should know, but I fitted it 6 years ago and my memory...... It has a very prominent horn button, easily pushed accidentaly, either when going for the indicator switch below it or the big red push button for Hi/Lo beam just beyond it. This has led to several embarrasing moments when the twin Fiamms have sounded off unintentionally. For several weeks, since riding the bike again I've been thinking about how to improve things. Cutting some off the horn button wouldn't work as its hollow. Today I hit upon making a 5mm thick "U" shaped guard around the horn buttons highest end, carefully shaped to fit against the curved surface of the switch body, with rounded edges and held in place with 2 dainty 3mm self tapping screws. Its quite neat. The horn button works if you really mean to use it, but now its almost impossible to sound accidentaly. Unfortunately the only bit of 5mm plastic bar I had to hand is white, and obviously black would look a lot better. If it works as well as I think it will I may get some black material and tidy it up.

Tried to see what the problem is, seems there's loads of different styles of "domino switch", I did an Internet search, have you got a picture? |

Don't know how to post a picture. Its a good switch now, as are Yam switches, my other bike is an XSR700. So thanks, but I've other things to do than yet another session of matching wires from a different make, when I don't need to

Not asking you to do it again, just curious about the style of switch cluster, one where you can't avoid the horn button.
