    I am not at all a fan of the tiny thumb button for the primary horn. Too difficult to find in the split second that it can be that you need it. It needs to be a can't miss function cause our eyes need to be continually on the event as it is occurring

    They're okay... except for the air horn button. Dumbest place to put it. Ever.

    And while we're at it, put in a proper air horn.
     
    flood, Coolbreeze and DE36535 Thank this.

    I like it very much. Just had to get used to the placement of the horn button. I'm in my 3rd pro star. 2nd one with the maxxforce engine. But we won't go there.

    Love accidently hitting the air horn when all I wanted to do was interrupt my marker lights.

    Or worse... all I meant to do was turn off the Jake when rolling into the truck stop at 3 AM.
     
    DsquareD and Ysofast Thank this.

    I like them. I've been using them since i first got one in my W900 in 2003. Currently still have one in my W900 and my dad also has one in his t2000 and loves it. Though, you do have to get used to the placement, especially with the Prostar. Watch out for that air horn.

    Agreed that the location for the air horn is really bad. Other than that, what do you think about the general number of functions? Does it feel very crowded to use or acceptable? Everyone keeps saying too many switches but would you rather have them all at your finger tips or just have a blank wheel with the controls elsewhere? All feedback is welcome....

    I think it's perfect. I like having the radio and light controls in that spot.
