Got my mk2,2 and the lights stay on which the previous owner asures me is the norm;the switch is crap so I was gonna get an new one..but before I do I decided to ask you lot if I can rewire the lights to turn off via switch gear??or should I just put up with it :)

Yes you can install a switch to be able to turn lights on/off. Not difficult just install in the circuit and it acts as a circuit breaker. Lights on all the time is a \"safety\" thing, although melted the plastic on my original headlight.

Mine is a MK2 lights always on or high beam .
I like it best this way other trafic can see you better i think if lights are on.
But this is only my way of thinking my brothers MK2.2 has a switch some one added done a sh@ job as dont fit on mx bars.
Any way as said yes it is posible..
Keep up the good work
Kevin :D

Mines got blue anodised forks, no blue rims, lights can be switched on or off, high or low beam with original switch gear. 2t oil in frame. frame no starts MD24. 99% sure it's a mk2. :)
