Dip beam/ high beam switch is awkward and unlike most other motorcycles.

Interesting, I like it - particularly the way it combines with the flash

I don't find it awkward. In fact I find it a lot better than having to fumble for a rocker switch like we have on our FJR1300s

YES, totally agree. I used to like a bike I had that had the dip switch below the position of where the indicator switch is (on the Wethead). It was push to dip push, push for high, so it always toggled to the setting you needed. On that bike, the horn was a trigger in roughly the same position as the dip switch is on the Wethead!


However, to the point. I have added a 15 - 20mm extension piece to the current Wethead dipswitch and it now falls to hand much more readily.
