Turn signals don't belong on Ambassadors. That's why God gave you
arms!!
Next thing you know you'll be putting pink flamingos in you front yard.

Hi Ron,
I second your recommendation. I've had that exact switch on my
Ambassador now for two years and it has performed flawlessly in that
time. I haven't had any problems with heavy gloves (when I was living in
the North country) and it hasn't given me a lick of trouble. It also has
a very similar layout to the switch on my Quota, which is nice. My only
*minor* complaint is that there isn't a real perceptible 'click' feel
when you cancel the turn signals...which sometimes has me wondering if I
cancelled them.

Guzziesti, A common problem with our older Guzzis is failing switch gear. This usually leads to the search for upgraded parts to replace it.
