This is sugru , a sort of plastic putty/glue that sets hard.
It works fairly well.
My take on the old switch gear is that Harley Davidson did it even better, press once with your thumb to turn the indicator on and then press a second time to turn if off (same on either side)- Simples!RTman10 wrote: When you got used to it I reckon it was the best system ever. And it never broke. I blame MCN for its demise. BMW said they dropped it because the switchgear couldn't be adapted for all the extra functions.
