Re: [ST] UK lightswitch



Matt,

 So the cover plate that is on the right grip that has Triumph printed
on it is for a UK light switch? Is the wiring there behind the plate?
Can we, as in those in the US order the on-off headlight switch that
goes in that spot from our favorite dealer? I would not mind having this
mod for my ST to power extra running lights.
