ANyone know what is supposed to go where the black plastic plugs now fill two of the holes in my America dash bezel? Anything to do with a tach or light bar add on?

One, I believe, is for an on/off switch for the headlight, which is not allowed in the USA. The other? Not sure.
I've stuck a small (very) clock on my left side plug. Some have added specialty switches on the right side. Ridge cooked up a nifty garage door opener set up, using the right side for the button.

The small one on the left is for the LED that shows the Triumph alarm system is on. The larger one on the right is for controling the clock if it is installed. The main light switch was where the blank on the right side of the handlebar just above the start switch.

I used those spots for the forward mounted rocket launcher controls, but I guess that they could be used for a light switch or something as well.
