It took Me awhile to get use to having a turn signal switch on each side. Now I am used to it. I rode a Vstar before. With the Vstar I would end up turn the other turn signal on instead of turn off the turn signal. I like have self canceling turn signals. Give it time and you will get used to it.

I've recently moved up from a Honda Shadow to my Road King. One of the adjustments I'm not enjoying is the right turn signal control being on the right grip (vs. both on the left grip). I dunno - I think it's a bad design choice.
My right hand's doing a lot as is - and typically I activate the turn signal and accelerate simultaneously, which is now a bit trickier on the Harley. My left hand - now all it does is man the left turn signal, scratch my nose, and do the biker wave thing.

I think just the opposite. The both signals on one side is a bad design. I did have a few jap bikes in my time and I could never get used to that. Just didn't feel natural. Always going for the side I was turning. I remember one of them was not even a button. It was like a sliding switch that you thumbed forward for right and back for left. That one really sucked.
