Adding hazard lights to a 5th gen - Is there an OEM left switch assembly to fit?

Hi all.

I find the lack of hazards on the 5th gen to be pretty odd, and i'm looking to get the bike wired to support them which is simple enough (not for me personally, though) - I'm wondering if there's a set of OEM left bar switches i can bolt on which includes a hazard button? I want to keep it looking stock so adding another switch somewhere else is right out.

 

I bet you could make the switch set off an older Goldwing work.

 

The 6th gen has hazards.

Really? I can't see that in any google images. I'll have a look at one tomorrow/Friday.

 

Pretty sure. I had one and I'm 99% sure. Unless I'm getting forgetful in my advancing years

Had a look at a 6th gen. Indeed it does have a hazard switch.

I'm thinking something like this.

 

That looks like a signal switch. The 6th gen definitely does have a hazard light switch assembly on the right handle bar. Between the start button and the kill switch.



I would think you could work it out so that you could put one on a fifth gen if you wanted to. Another option would be to wire it to a weatherproof push button switch you mount in your dash somewhere. You can get push buttons switches that have a rubber boot over the button for just a couple dollars. They are really small but would work even wearing gloves.
