CB400 Righthand switchgear - Which model is this one from?

[Bloggs]

Hello,

Wishing to ask the experienced members if anyone recognises the RH switchgear that was fitted to my 400?
There different wiring arrangements to the standard CB400 switchgear.

1. Starter button earths the Yellow / Red cable rather than connecting it to the black. No black in the loom.
2. Two additional cables White/yellow and a Yellow appear to go to the headlight switch, in addition to the normal cabling.

The bike's wiring was 'Modified' to remove all the starter interlocks and just use the start button to earth the starter solenoid coil.
White/yellow and a Yellow cables not used.

I an guessing that this is from a 750 or a 550?? Possibly a USA model??? Other parts on the bike have been from a USA model.

The yellow and yellow/white were used on the 450 twin and some others ro switch in extra generator coils when lights turned on

Thanks Bryan, that makes sense.

Just need to find a used replacement so it matches the LH side. Not aiming to get it back to showroom but wnating to retain the Patination of its age.
