The cable support is a nice idea, but there are many who wish to route the wires internally to the bars, especially clip-ons.
One reason “others” use a thinner gauge wire is the terminal screw post beneath the button is very, very small. A thicker wire doesn’t really fit. Add to that, the wires leaving the terminal need to avoid racing against the metal bars, causing a short. It’s all very tight tolerances.
yep and there is a lot of people complaining that those thin wires are failing.... And then it is big pain to fix them because they are routed inside. Completely impractical if you want to drive a motorcycle. Wire needs to be mechanically strong to resist fatigue failure.
but the main reason why they are left to be routed inside the switches/clipons, my opinion, is because it is much cheaper for machining of switches and is much cheaper to leave to end user to think how he is going to solve cable exit/routing...
This is more expensive(to produce) solution but much more reliable, practical and visually you don't see the cable because it follows the clip ons from below. My buttons are soldered and isolated. You can see it on my bike how it looks.... You don't see the cable.
but this can be only just mine opinion
