BMW Aux Lighting Switch - Guard to prevent it from being turned on / off

Post by ichavis »

[size=13px]I have a BMW Aux Lighting Switch installed on my 14 R1200RT. It seems like when i turn my bars full left, the light switch hits my tank bag and either turns on or off. Any one have any creative ideas which i could use to setup some sort of a guard to prevent the switch from being turned on or off when i make those hard turns ? thanks Ira[/size]

Take the tank bag off.  If it's a BMW one complain to your dealer as it should not touch if both re properly installed/mounted.

it is not a bmw bag thus not compliant and pretty sure it would happen with a lot of other vendors bags thus my question.  thanks though! :)

In that case my first solution applies. Remember on the other side you have a kill switch.

But .. the kill switch is not effected..it is further out on the bars...issue is the AUX LED switch is getting bumped by a non-OEM bag thus my request.  When parked the bars are sometimes turned totally to the left .  I can just dig through the parts in at the local HW store,  was hoping someone else had the same issue.  thanks
