Should you have a KTM with the left hand switchgear with the horn and kill buttons pointing forward, you might find it easier to reverse the unit by removing the top part and turning it by 180 degrees.That way the kill/horn buttons are more easily in reach.There is also less likelihood of flicking the lights off when in the new position.

Cool - that explains why the switch on my new (to me) bike is upside down.

P.S. it's actually Illegal to have the top half with the indicators (trafficators) switch still on if you have removed the actual indicator (trafficator) lights and stalks..also dont forget to remove the green light/blub from the "dash" as well...

Constructions & use regs state that if lights and or switch is fitted they MUST WORK... ;)
