Looking for a switch very similar to this but weather/waterproof.

Needs to be mounted mount in a motorcycle hand control.

Thanks.

What kind of a motorcycle? Which control? Do you need to know when the lever is at the beginning of the stroke or at the end? Or is it for the throttle? Is it for Nitrous?

I'm not sure if those are serious questions.

It just needs to be a simple momentary switch to cycle the odometer display between fields.

When you said hand control, I thought you were talking about mounting a switch for a clutch safety or for a brake light switch. The radio shack switch does not say what type of switch it is, normally open or normally closed. If it did say I could not find it. For what you are trying to do I would think that you need a normally open switch.

Yes, a normally open switch is required.

I need something very small in order to fit inside the left hand control.

Just want to be able to change the odometer display from clock through the various mileage counters without having to reach over the bars while riding.

Mouser Electronics sells all kinds of switches that might fit your needs. I have ordered from them many times and been VERY satisfied with every order. Highly recomend!

Check page 1516 in their online catalog for a whole list of push-button switches that would meet your needs.
