It's a pretty rare item, IIRC. I've seen OEM parts list that show the 4-speed switch and bracket, but I've never actually seen one in use.

They look like a little bullet.
I bought an NOS set 8-10 years ago. It had the set up for both the 3 speed and 4 speed. I have the 3 speed (column shift) set up on the 55 2nd and the 4 speed (SM420) on the 48 3100.
Back-up lights are nice when in the city. It lets city people know when you are backing up. City people don't have much sense.
