Cool Button Trick

[broke and hungry]

I wanted to add a horn so I needed a button. Went to Radio Shak and bought a micro button, drilled out the left grip and also drilled through the handle bar for the wiring. Nice addition.

Looks great. I used a horn button as a kill switch on a lawn mower once. Worked great till my sweaty hand made a circuit (POW).

Does this have any kind of insulation beside the tip of the button? Is it just a momentary switch?

It is a momentary switch. The grip butt end is plastic, what little insulation I used was just silicone after soldering the connection.
