Am I correct in thinking that there is a version of the SIII trapezium shaped handlebar switch that incorporates an indicator switch? If so, was it a factory item (Indian?) or a special part manufactured for a dealer?
Are such switches still available?
If not, has anyone got one?

My Serveta had a indicator rocker switch on the handlebars… ugly black plastic box bolted on to the alloy.

I've had a couple of those of Scooter restorations, not sure what model SIL, Vijay etc it was used on but seems standard and works well without having to attach a seperate indicator switch. Bit of a squeeze getting all the wires through the headset and they are not very supple - I dropped and broke my wife's hair dryer warming the outer plastic sleeve - she was thrilled it helped get the harness through!

So Mickey, was it a special switch, designed for indicators, or a standard one?

Don't quote me but I think it's a standard factory switch off some (unknown to me) Indian model. It looks just like an Li switch but some newer touches such as a picture of a horn on the button & the obvious relevant bit is side light / headlight switch does the indicators.
