Hi John,

I'm just preparing for the day when I lose both my arms in a freak
stirring accident while preparing Darby's oatmeal cereal...that way I'll
still be able to signal. As for the pink flamingos, you'll need to speak
with Maynard about that:

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.
I recently picked up a T3 for repair & resell with an "everything"
switch on
the left handlebar so neat that I researched where it came from &
ordered
one for my Eldo. The Eldo has a Suzuki switch with a turn signal

portion

getting sloppy.
The new switch is made by K&S Technologies Inc., #12-0030, Universal
Turn
Signal Switch. It has headlight on/off, hi/low beam. push to cancel
turnsignals, horn, & a Euro style trigger on the front for hi beam
flash.
Only 1 7/8" wide & about 2" deep, it is set up w/25" of wire, about

16"

out
to a compact 9 pin plug, the rest in leads to connect to the bike

wiring

harness. The card it's packed on has a plug diagram on the back
identifying
the function & wire color code of each pin. Combined w/the bike wiring
diagram installation should be a snap. The switch is DOT & SAE

approved.

It
appears well made (Taiwan) w/ typical Oriental construction inside &
water
drain holes on the bottom, (unlike some recent Guzzi switch's!). Of
course,
time will tell how well it holds up. The only possible problem I can

see

is
that the switches are compact & may be difficult to feel in heavy
gloves. I
got mine from Gordon at MG Cycle. The cost was $58.95.
