Handle bar switch controls colouring??

[Suzuki mad]

I never had a GS1000S when I was a kid so I don't know this one.

Where GS1000S handlebar switch controls white or red in colour. The casing is black on both (suzuki 291 I guess) but which colour was the info? I've got a left hand switch with red letter and one with white. Its really confusing.

You mean like this?

Or this?

Thats brand new! Did you replace with new or have the labels engraved?

I was thinking of having it redone on the machine they use for engraving awards, cups and trophies and then just filling with white paint or Tipp-Ex.

Yep.Brand new from alphasports.I toyed with the idea of repaint/engraving but the internals were not 100%,soooo,new it was.The only thing was that the light switch had a little tit that wouldn't let you turn the lights off,so I pulled it apart and filed said tit off.Having the lights on was a pain when trying to start the bike when VERY cold.Cheers,Simon.

I've got a US-spec S, and it has white lettering.

Simon - those new control switches sure are sweet.

Hey there Florida,I'm real happy with them.I was going to do what old mate Matchless is contemplating,and I think it would work well.I'm a bit of a weirdo though and decided to go with NEW pretty much everywhere.hp1000s,are you doing up an 'S?Sure would like to see some pics of that.Cheers,Simon.

Black and white on my SN. Actually all black now as I've resprayed them and need to pick out the white when I find time (plus I think I'll top up with mogadons to try and get a steady hand). I think STs were red but stand to be corrected.

Here's one on Fleabay:
