[QUOTE="RZ350, post: 1292037, member: 13475"] Yeah, a waterproof or concealed switch should definitely be on the wish list for this project. I will say, however, that everything is still working fine after all these years. I've probably just been lucky though. It isn't pictured here, but apparently water intrusion must have crossed my mind several years ago when I added this because there is a short piece of rubber hose slid on the threaded part of the switch that extends out to nearly the end of the throw lever. At the very least, it has kept direct splash out of there. SIDE BENEFIT OF THIS SWITCH: One side benefit of not having the windshield auto-retract is realized when you wash the bike (for those that actually do that!). Leaving the windshield up makes it much easier to reach the lower backside of the shield and also the fairing bodywork that is directly behind it. [/QUOTE]
