I need an heavy duty waterproof switch that will decently fit under under my right thumb on left grip....
similar to the one linked below which is a push & talk switch for cops intercom I believe.
I am on the market for it but also looking for alternative options in the same mood.
Actually I want this push switch behind a bigger main switch for the Aux light On&Off...
The push switch near the grip will just be there to quickly turn off the light when urban flashing is needed.
kind of a "Morse code" type of flashing seeked for this little project.

My auxiliary lights are part of the whole centech fuse box, relay & parking can bus tap usual setup largely debated on our forum.

Re: Push switch for Aux Lights quick urban flashing?
If the switch is standard issue for authority bikes, then maybe the dealer can obtain one for you from BMW's not-distributed authority parts catalog. They have to be able to supply these things for cop bikes that get damaged. Or see if you can find someone with a cop bike they're parting out.

Cool idea. OEM BMW parts tend to be expensive. I googled weatherproof push button switch and got a huge response. Evidently there are about a billion choices out there.

I used a light switch intended for a R1200GS of my driving lights. It replaced part of the original left switch housing. It wasn't cheap, but it fits well.

I have an auxiliary horn on my bike because my after market main horn is too loud for many situations. I use a small waterproof button mounted on my mirror extender to operate it. It cost around $5 and has been on the bike a few years in all kinds of weather without any problems. This is a momentary on switch but they can be had in an on/off configuration.
