Blinker switch breaks off at about 30,000 miles. I have two honda motorcycles (also honda vtx 1300 2007) that use the same switch. Each bike at about 30,00 miles; the blinker thumb switch breaks off as it is used. I have replaced one (over $100.00 to get switch cable assembly had to be purchased) and still have all 3 examples of an apparent consistent stress flaw. Three separate occasions I have been driving; go to use blinker, it comes on and the thumb switch breaks off. I was able to catch but had to pull over and remove blinker fuse so to turn off blinker, leaving no horn available as they share a fuse. I reported to honda and sent photos, tried to get a local dealer to submit but they would not. Hand signals on a motorcycle are not ideal . Please note each breaks at same place and around 30,000 miles. Seems engineering flaw.
