As some of you will know, yours truly had a bit of an accident 2 1/2 months ago during which my right hand was crushed. The end result is a reconsructed thumb which is missing the end 1/3 and it is much larger and bulkier, but worse still, as it was so badly damaged, it has 4 K wires through the two remaining joints and it is rigid.
I have visited this website and there appears to be a solution to my problem of operating the indicators on the right-hand bar. The solution for me would be to fit a new switch on the left hand bar. Unfortunately, I am not an electrician, auto or otherwise, so, is there anyone out there who would be willing to do a nice professional job for me? I still can't ride my bike yet, but I am aiming to be back on two wheels early September. Any takers or other (serious) suggestions or solutions? Thanks!

Hmm........... 55 views and no suggestions, even rude ones! Come on lads, your slipping! Can anyone suggests a half-decent auto-electrician instead of a professional one then? I hope to be back on the bike in about a month or so, and as soon as I am, I will be happy to bring the bike to your home/workshop to be worked on, and of course, I will pay! I hear BTBR is handy with some wire cutters and a soldering iron, anyone know how I can get intouch with him?
 
Hi Longdog,

Glad to hear your on the fix.
Try e-mail or PM BTBR (Alan) to see if he can help.

Well, I've done it! A small autoelectrical garage in Llanelli has wired up a parallel system with it's own flasher relay and inline fuse with a simple 3 position toggle switch fitted to the left hand bar! For now at least, it is a temporary system which will enable me to remove it without trace, but it works! Now where's me handlebar muffs!!!!! :thumb
