New (to me!) '77 CB400F - US model
mattsz:
Is this a normal arrangement for the underside of the ignition switch? What's the story with the thin wire that's clearly cutting into the plug? Click to zoom right in...
edit: not sure why the thumbnail is sideways, but the external view seems to be right...

That would explain it! Can I replace the switch while retaining the lock, so I can use the same key? The bike came with only one key, and I just got a couple copies made. Not to mention the seat and fuel cap locks...
Bryanj:
Emgo do a replacement plastic switch part but get the correct one as there are two different ones.
Some people on here decry emgo but i have used their parts for many years with few failures.
You can find an Emgo catalogue on line.

This is for the ignition switch? Not sure what the "plastic part" is, the bit that looks glued onto what looks like a metal body of the switch?
Bryanj:
Yes the complete white plastic part which clips to the metal body. If you pm me your email i will send you some pics and links
