Stop lamp switch for Slimlines

That will do the job. lubricate with a bit of vaseline and make a boot/cover out of some old innertube to keep the wet/dirt out.

Still need to be sure whether it's an 'always on' or 'always off' - there is no indication in the listing

I'm as sure as I can be, Even" always on" can be back to front!! THe x017 one they do is definately WRONG.

What year & model slimline? It makes a difference. the switch you sent the link to is the Lucas 22B, which had several variations (at least 3). Each had a different Lucas part number. Some pulled left, some pulled right. Have a look here:

Happy to look it up for you with more info

The switch in the small picture 31383 is the same and is the one seen on most european slimline bikes. Not that the number is much use now as pattern switches are the norm. No idea what was fitted in the states (did they actually ride bikes on the road over there?). Only Joking!. Due to odd silencer lines some bikes get the rear drum arm positioned upwards which may make it more likely to fit upside down switches from a Triumph. If the small set screws are replaced with ones that are a tight fit then the range of adjustment is insufficient. I have also seen bikes with the footrests set so low that adjustment (and cornering !) are not viable.
