I bought one of these cheapo left handlebar horn/indicator/hi-lo switches on ebay from China.

Wasn't expecting a quality item at that price. I only wanted something to get my track bike through its roadworthy inspection so I can test-run it on the road. But I was pleasantly surprised to receive a reasonably well-made and robust looking switch. Out of curiosity I took it apart to inspect the electrical components and found good solid copper contacts that would probably handle 20 Amps! It actually appears to be of equivalent quality to the Japanese (ND?) switches that were original equipment on many Laverdas. Pretty amazing value for $7 and free postage! I've since seen the same switch from another supplier for $5.99 with free postage.
Only thing it doesn't have (that the standard Laverda switch does) is a headlight on/off switch. No big deal though. I'll just put a separate switch on the dash.
