Euro switch



Has anybody in the US put a Euro headlight switch assembly on their ST?  I know
this mod is/was popular among BMW riders for airhead boxers.  In fact, I did it
on my R100RS.  It was simple... just unscrew the two halves of the switch
assembly on the right side of the handlebar, unplug the wiring harness, remove
the front portion of the US switch, put on the Euro switch, reconnect wiring
harness and you're done.  Having the ability to turn the headlight/driving light
on and off was very useful for around town driving when the boxer's alternator
wasn't putting out much voltage for it's huge battery.  This conserved battery
life in the long run.  May not be necessary for battery life on an ST, but I
sure would like the option of operating the headlights instead of having them on
all the time (yes, I realize some states require that headlights be on all the
time).

Thanks!
