Post subject: Light switch activation
i currently own a 2005 speedmaster. it has a locked on headlight switch on the right hand side of the handlebars. does anyone know if this is a real rocker switch locked out or just a dummy with no electrical connectivity inside? i would like to shut off the headlight and taillight when cold starting in the winter after the bike has set for some length.
