    Can you get the matching starter button guard and mount it upside down perhaps?
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Buy a car 'cause if you are unable to correctly operate a simple blinker switch you prolly shouldn't be riding a bike.

    No... just walk, wear hi-viz so we can see you and get out of your way...

    safety is about identifying the potential for something to go wrong then building a handy guard to mitigate the potential threat.....its not about plonkers who don't know what thier switches does.

    If your speaking of the need to protect a user from a saw blade, I agree. Clear and present danger.
    But that horn switch is more likely to kill due to a failure to operate than because it was used when it shouldn't be.

    Not quite that easy. Manufacturers are moving the controls around. Even Honda that used to have their controls very standardised is now moving them around. Horn used to be left control switch at the bottom, indicators above. Those two have now switched positions, depending on the model you ride. BMW is moving from paddle indicators (which I love) to a jap style layout. Riding an NC700 with the new layout, I indicated my fury at a car cutting me off

    OP however, should try owning a BMW. So many bits of bling available, then multiply by all the manufacturers!

    ... and why are they trying to sell it?

    Because your tank bag might knock the horn button when on full lock and sound the horn...

    Just move the tank bag... or get a smaller one...

    I would consider it a greater safer hazard that this contact was possible than that the horn might alert you to the fact your handling is compromised.

    I'd go as far as to say, in that condition they are bypassing a safety feature.

    I guess you just can't teach common sense.

    Maybe filling the tires with concrete would mitigate the potential flat tire threat...

    I remember a few speedway sidecars filling the front tyre with water trying to improve their sledging problems, lol

    A guard for your horn button? Seriously...

    Next thing you'll want a hooker with a chastity device...
