I agree. But, do not think installing the EB will absolutely the built in problems of the ignition switches provided by Triumph. Not only do the switches fail from excessive current being routed through the them but also from defective solder joints. The workmanship on the two switches I have had experience with was lacking. I have seen bad solder joints (cold) on the lug contacts inside.
The general opinion is that the excess current causes the switch to overheat, which in turn cause the switch and solder connections to break down. Since I have never seen an actual switch prior to installation or after one has gone bad, I can't say. Having worked in electronics and having done a lot of soldering, it is my opinion that most people don't know how to solder correctly. I suspect the connections look like a cold solder joints from repeated heated and cooling.
