sounds like your barn is the place to be
I`ve been collecting NX250 /AX1 / XL Degree parts for decades now and dumped them in the barn. Some of the parts I already forgot that I have them - so every time I search through the barn I find something surprising

- like the Degree bracket.
One issue that was on my agenda for a long time is adapting a NX650 light switch to the NX250. The latter is Hondas street line with integrated choke. And it is this very choke that gives a lot of trouble. If the choke cable isn’t aligned correctly it will rip out of the switch.
So good handlebar switches are really hard to find and thus expensive. That’s why I had the idea of using the more robust enduro line switches from NX650, Transalp, Africa Twin or XL250 Degree. I could not get the latter, but there are lots of NX650 ones available. It has a light off / parking light switch - at least the EU versions.
The neat thing about the NX650 switch is that it has almost identical cable colours as the NX250 harness - which makes wiring a lot easier.
The left side of the NX250 frame is very cramped with the wiring, so one of my goals was to minimize that. So in order to avoid cable running from the switch to the frame and then back to the headlight / tachymeter I added a tabbing to the NX650 switch harness. From there the wires go directly to the headlight/ tachymeter. I also inserted cables for the rev counter (black/yellow) and idle light (light green/red), so that there is only a single harness necessary on the left side.
