DIY clamp for aux light switch on my Triumph Scrambler 400 X

This push button switch also flashes the light at half-press and can be used to imitate the aux lights to flash. This was the main requirement for which the switch should be close to the thumb to easily operate.

BHPian nasirkaka recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Made a simple clamp to bring the Maddog aux light switch more accessible and closer to the thumb. Maddog makes two types of switches both of which can be seen here. One is toggle type and less expensive, and the other one is push-button type and premium of the two. This push button switch also flashes the light at half-press and can be used to imitate the aux lights to flash. This was the main requirement for which the switch should be close to the thumb to easily operate.

I also had a pair of Rox handlebar risers from my previous bike. These are good quality 2" risers which allows 2 axis pivot control. This greatly increases the permutations allowing much finer control on the handlebar position possibility.

I thought to try them on the scrambler and they seem to fit just about fine. The handlebar position is very upright and standing and riding is easy as well.

The stance with the Rox handlebar riser. We can visibly see that the handlebar looks taller. All this is a personal setting of ergonomics and may not align with typical off-roading stance. My riding is more relaxed and the attempt is to make bike suited to what works for me.
