Yep, that's it. The OEM function for the switch is to raise/lower a windscreen. The bike I"m installing it on doesn't have an electric windscreen so I want to convert it for use with driving lights. If there's a simpler way to accomplish this then I'd be all for it.

If there's a simpler way to accomplish my goal then I'd be all fot it.

What I did:

Took the standard momentary to constant setup, and slapped the relay up top. That will kill the power to the standard setup, effectively turning it off.

Here is one I just drew with 2 Relays.

Load and Output mean the same thing. A light was added for convineance.

Very nice - thanks. Since that has one less relay, I'll probably use that circuit.
