Ducon, Tricon, Wipac handlebar switch
Could anyone recommend a good replica version of the above, I bought one with the red kill (?) button but it is really cheap and nasty.

I bought a nice looking high quality chrome horn/dipswitch last week from the ever helpful Steven at AMC Classic Spares if that helps?

Re: Ducon, Tricon, Wipac handlebar switch
As I said above - I bought a Tricon(?) switch - the one with the red button - it had no identity makings - I presume nobody wanted to put their name to it -it's rubbish, it wouldn't work or the horn would go off by itself and there's no 'feel' to the buttons.
So I've replaced it with a Ducon with just the Hi/Lo and horn. Moulded into the black plastic is Wipac - a replica the ad said. It's lovely- it's feel is precise.
My only criticism and this is with the design of all of them is that there isn't an earth connection - just relying on the greasy head bearings as an electrical passage.
I just soldered an earth wire to the captive nut that the grub screw screws thru and clamps it all to the handle bar.
Cheers
