I then binned the quaint snuffbox switches and moved into the 21st
century with a full rewire moving all handlebar functions to the left
side.

The Eldo start button looks cool but it had to go as well. I put the
starter on the key and got rid of those wires as well. Making room for
this:

David -

Thanks for the update and for the pictures. I just installed a new left
switch like you did; I included relays for the lights and horn at the
same time but left the turn signals running through the switch because
the current draw is so much lower.

I thought about moving the starter button down to the key switch but
then thought that it might be awful inconvenient to restart if the bike
happened to die at a traffic light or something. It hasn't done it yet
(it idles real regular and reliable) but you never know....Have others
found the key switch to be a reasonable place to start the bike from?
