Except for bikes without an electric start, and fancy things like heated grips, I've never seen it any different to the above posts.

I think some BMW's have a switch for indicators on both sides, but apart from that...

That's what my 99 Hornet has, except there's no hazards and on the right above the start button is the light switch. The positions from left to right are: "Full" lights (determined by the full/dipped switch on the left handle), side-lights, lights off.

Right, there is a soloution to this (if i'm getting what your after)

Mines

Left

Beam high/low
Indicators
Horn
Pass

Right

kill switch
start
lights/off/park/on


Now, you could do away with the kill switch, buy a barrel with start on it (like a cars) thats the start you dont need (or wire it to the pass button and paint it red and relable it), and hardwire the lights perminently on, so no need for the off/park/on switch.. so you can chuck the right hand switchgear.

Any reason why you only want one side? Razz

My headlight switch is on the headlight itself Shocked

the right handlebar has high / low beam switch, but it is an old bike, has electric start though.

If i remember rightly, and i might be completely wrong...

But i remember Mo saying something about having trouble with one of his wrisits? (Sorry if this is wrong mate)

But yes like stated above you can hook up everything to one side if need be. Get a car style barrel or even get a remote start allarm / immobiliser Thumbs Up

However are the switches the only problem? If you have trouble with your wrists then are you also going to have trouble with either the brake or clutch? If so are you going to have to do a nice little mod to equip a double connection to the rear brake? Or clutch or something?

And the hand switch is for my mates project bike.

Pass button is for flashing up random gay drivers that are annoying you in front.

Nah - Your pass light is basically a switch to your high beam - you are supposed to hold that as you overtake - makes your headlight brighter so that oncoming traffic can see you more Thumbs Up

One thing though, dont make a habbit of useing it as they aren't wired to be used for more than a second or two at a time (both high and low beam at the time will cook the wire)

It would help a lot more if you explained the reasons for needing everything on one side.

The list of interchangeable controls is endless now.

Cheers,

Mr.Z's got a point. Thing is i never use it for overtaking, because my lights are bright enough during the day anyway, and my green fairing is lovely and visible.

But when it gets dark enough to need to use it, ive got my main beam on anyway, because my lights are shite in the dark.

But yeah, thats what a pass light is for Thumbs Up

Surely most bikes have most of the controls on the left anyway. So if you only use the right hand controls to start the bike up and perhaps turn the lights on, why not just lean over with your left hand, seeing as you'll be sat still anyway Question If you can only use the right hand, I'm not so sure Exclamation

FWIW-

ZX6R Right

Arrow Starter
Arrow Kill Switch
Arrow Stopwatch Stop/Start

ZX6R Left

Arrow Full Beam
Arrow Pass flicker
Arrow Horn
Arrow Stopwatch 'Lap' button.
Arrow Indicator
