929. Alternative L/H Switchgear?
 
Might be just me, but don't you hate the Dip/High Beam push-on-push-off Switch?
Has anyone replaced the L/H Switchgear for a Unit with a more conventional Hi/Lo Switch?

I'm not sure what you're referring to. What exactly do you mean switching it?

I've found out since posting, that the U.S. Models have a conventional Hi/Lo Rocker Switch.
On mine (UK/Euro), the Switch is a little Square Button above and right of the Indicator Switch, which you push in to Switch between High and Low Beam.
It's awkward to reach for one thing, and not that 'positive' in operation, particularly with thicker Winter Gloves on.

On my Guzzi Stelvio, you push the Passing Switch forwards to select High Beam, you barely have to move your Finger, and it works well with any Gloves.

I've been thinking about it some more, and will probably rewire using a Latching Changeover Relay.
I will be able to switch between High and Low by clicking the Passing Switch.

Hmm, sounds like an interesting set up. All the bikes I have only have the option for High/Low. No momentary switch at all. Let us know how it goes.

The current Hi/Lo Switch isn't a momentary one, it latches in, and then out, with each subsequent press.

I've had cars that use a Latching Relay for the Hi/Lo switching, most notably the Air-Cooled VW Beetles, and the Camper Vans.
