BLINKER SWITCH BREAKS OFF AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES. I HAVE TWO HONDA MOTORCYCLES (ALSO HONDA VTX 1300 2007) THAT USE THE SAME SWITCH. EACH BIKE AT ABOUT 30,00 MILES; THE BLINKER THUMB SWITCH BREAKS OFF AS IT IS USED. I HAVE REPLACED ONE (OVER $100.00 TO GET SWITCH CABLE ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE PURCHASED) AND STILL HAVE ALL 3 EXAMPLES…

BLINKER SWITCH BREAKS OFF AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES. I HAVE TWO HONDA MOTORCYCLES (ALSO HONDA VTX 1300 2007) THAT USE THE SAME SWITCH. EACH BIKE AT ABOUT 30,00 MILES; THE BLINKER THUMB SWITCH BREAKS OFF AS IT IS USED. I HAVE REPLACED ONE (OVER $100.00 TO GET SWITCH CABLE ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE PURCHASED) AND STILL HAVE ALL 3 EXAMPLES OF AN APPARENT CONSISTENT STRESS FLAW. THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING; GO TO USE BLINKER, IT COMES ON AND THE THUMB SWITCH BREAKS OFF. I WAS ABLE TO CATCH BUT HAD TO PULL OVER AND REMOVE BLINKER FUSE SO TO TURN OFF BLINKER, LEAVING NO HORN AVAILABLE AS THEY SHARE A FUSE. I REPORTED TO HONDA AND SENT PHOTOS, TRIED TO GET A LOCAL DEALER TO SUBMIT BUT THEY WOULD NOT. HAND SIGNALS ON A MOTORCYCLE ARE NOT IDEAL . PLEASE NOTE EACH BREAKS AT SAME PLACE AND AROUND 30,000 MILES. SEEMS ENGINEERING FLAW.
