Do these exist?

 I am searching for a way to get a strobe LED added to some 1995 bikes.  It was originally recommended I use the "passing switch" but the 1995 does not have one, and its not clear if I can put a 2014 or newer left grip assembly on a 1995 easily.

 So now I am searching for momentary switches, but I can't put them on the bars in a location that wouldn't require a rider take their hand off the grip to activate the switch.

 I am wondering if there's some sort of lever switch where I can install the main switch mechanism next to the stock assembly and could just press an extending lever while maintaining grip.

 I hope that makes sense.

 I wasn't sure a 2014+ left hand assembly would interface appropriately with 1995.  For me bolting on a separate system is easier than disassembling the current one.  Dave had explained how he did it using the passing switch but he already had the correct left hand assembly.

Getting a 2004 and later handlebar control to fit an earlier bike would require a considerable amount of reworking the wire harness and connector.....it would not be easy.

Handlebar push buttons for accessories are the easiest method.....you want one that is momentary, and only activates the strobe while the button is held.

Finding them to fit a 1" handlebar cuts down your options....most of them are made for 7/8" bars.

This one is a dual button, it has a momentary button for the horn, and a ON/OFF button for other accessories like lights.

This one is chome and has 2 momentary switches.

Another option would be to just connect the light to the horn circuit...the strobe and horn would both run when you push the horn button.  The strobe requires very little power to operate.

 I was hoping to find a switch that didn't require removing your hand from the grip to activate the button.

 I may have to try the horn route, even though I don't like the idea of honking every time.

"You could mount a small push button on the back of the controls.  I put a small toggle switch on mine for 4-way flashers.  Easy to reach, works fine."

 Do you have a picture of what you did?  Might be just what I am looking for.

That's a 2006 left control set, mounted on a 2002, with a toggle switch added for 4-way flashers.

Here is a pic of the clamp buttons installed. As you see you can reach it with your thumb, but depends where you put it.

Sorry for bringing up this old topic, but where did you get your brake lever and master cylinder that is black?  Thanks
