Fifth Gen Turn Signal Switch Compatibility?

Well, I accidentally dropped my bicycle on my fifth gen the other day, and the bike landed right on the VFR's turn signal switch. Now the switch is inoperable, and I can't seem to find a replacement from a reputable dealer anywhere! Looking at pictures of different signal switches, it seems like they're all fairly similar, and I can't really imagine there's much difference internally/electronically between most applications. Does anyone know if our fifth gen signal switches are compatible with any other Honda bikes?

Included is a pic of my bike from last summer at Saint Mary's Glacier.

A shorter list would be Honda bikes the 5th gen switch is not compatible with!

Honda has used the same basic handlebar switch pods from about 1990 until 2010, so even if the wire colours and connector shells are different, most other switch pods are probably still usable if you're up to doing some soldering.

Ciao,
