ABSTRACT:
A a three-pole toggle switch intended for mounting upon the handlebar of a motorcycle proximate one handlebar grip and wiring enabling connection to the electrical system of a motorcycle allows control of the turn indicator signals. With proper installation the wiring of the motorcycle is supplanted, and the device functions as an override control of the turn indicator system. This device is intended particularly for systems requiring constant application of pressure upon a button contact to maintain activation of a turn signal which action precludes the use of either the clutch or the front brake and control of the throttle during use of the turn signal, depending upon whether the left or right side indicator, respectively, is employed. An appropriately wired and positioned device enables the rider to activate and maintain activation of either turn indicator by positioning of the toggle without restriction to the use of either hand. The toggle position is readily determined by feel, and operation with one finger readily facilitated. In addition, an audio device may be wired such that an audio signal is activated by activation of either indicator, serving as a reminder that a turn signal is `on`.
