Re: Horn switch
the right hand batwing switch is also for the horn
I wired mine for emergency kill because with my fairing and side car it is easy kill engine going down hill for a faster stop

Re: Horn switch
connect wire from right switch #3 to #2 wire on switch board
left hand switch for high/low/horn will still work
#3 wire from right switch now gets grounded when button is pushed down to kill spark

The wires and connections were all good but the metal plate inside was very corroded. With a brass brush and some dielectric grease the switch is working much better now.

If you look at pic in Salis site and click on details it will show 6 pictures of the switch with terminals used in horn,left/right position
I use contact cleaner to clean and then fill the switch housing with dielectric grease to keep moister out
