I hate the r1100r horn/turn signal setup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a similar problem with the K75 horn, turn signals, high beam. It took some time but I was able to get used to it and now I find it "normal." When I ride other bikes I have a problem with the turn signals. I find the BMW arrangement convenient and there is no problem with thumb movements. Practice a bit more and see if things improve. It's cheaper than replacing everything.

Horns are generally useless in this AC climate controlled, triple insulated soundproof glass, and 10 speaker surround sound system cars of today.

Best solution is to keep a big cushion, and concentrate on avoidance, not warning some clueless driver.

The above answers are not what you were looking for, but both are good, simple solutions that have worked for me.
 
Tac nuke

For the errant driver texting, talking, sleeping, drinking, with their windows rolled up and the AC on my Beemer was installed with a tactical nuclear switch complete with its own fire control computer (FCC). Upon detecting one of these rouge cage drivers the tac nuke missile delivery system executes enemy drivers with a MAC charge precursor warhead, complete with fragmentation sleeve to facilitate a mobility kill on nearby vehicles in collusion with the originally targeted vehicle. This baby will clear a lane a mile wide and even smoothes the road to a glass like surface,(which can be a little slick if coated in the visceral liquids of offending vehicle occupants). An additional bonus, you usually only have to use it once, as it changes the surviving driver behavior in the greater metropolitan area where used within hours becomes "motorcycle friendly", especially to beemers. Only problem with it though is I have to come to a stop and put it in neutral to activate as it requires a key turn and two buttons one on each handlebar to be pushed simultaneously.

(If the NSA is monitoring this post I hope they have. A sense of humor)

Sort of something like this?
 
Stalker

Dude, how did you find my house? NSA give you the coordinates? N...o that's my conventional weapons bike. Twin 7.62 General Electric mini guns, yes quite a favorite of mine but still doesn't have the the knock down power of a high quality nuke.
 
on the way back a jackass in a Beemer(note "in" not "on") cut over three lanes to make a left turn, without a signal of course, and I almost went into his rear.

Those cages with roundels are generally called "bimmers" Right up there with texting teenagers, Suburban soccer moms and living fossils driving Buicks on my danger radar
 
Careful, sense of humor...........

You can't use a sense of humor on these forums as it isn't purposeful to relay technical information on how smart you are.
