Yeah, it would be prudent for me to buy a couple of those buttons, but I actually made two so I already have too many. If Partnsmore didn't have a minimum purchase requirement, I'd probably buy one or two, but I don't really need anything else at the moment.
Oh well.

Here is a guy that makes them too. For my XS650 Yamaha he makes them out of aluminum. They are the same for the start AND horn button. I ordered two and have replaced my broken start button.It worked perfectly and looks fine and won't break like a plastic one.
For Kwaks I think he only makes them out of plastic.
Five bucks a piece for the aluminum ones I ordered. Fast turnaround too.

The wiring for a Kaw requires the button be plastic or be somehow insulated.
It wouldn't be very hard, though, to reconfigure the wiring in order to use the aluminum ones.
