750k1 headlight switch.

<< < (2/3) > >>

Arch stanton:
Hello Bryan.
Thank you for your help. It looks like the way to go. The switch as it is rather negates any confidence gained from my new LED H4 bulb.
Which I strongly recommend. As for "not being cheap"  nothing is.
Especially regarding Cb750's

Tomb:
My CD175 had the same problem, the switch was well worn so it was easy to slide too far and switch the light off completely, a little frightening to a 17 year old me, until I realised the 6 volt headlight was that dim I could leave it on dipped and get the same illumination.

Arch stanton:
That reminds me. I really should get on with converting my sloper to 12v.
Why any manufacturers fitted 6v. Is totally beyond mem

Bryanj:
It was originaly only fitted in some markets but we heard about it in the mid 70's and started ordering and fitting them, as it was a genuine Honda part it didnt harm any warrantee

Seabeowner:
If this is about the P position between the L and H, then the easiest way is to fit the RHS for the US models. I think the US had a sealed beam with no pilot light, so if you can do without it this will do. There are plenty around including repros. (. L H) (35300-300-671P/35300-323-671 and others). If you want to retain P then you really need a P L H  RHS switch and the switch that Bryan mentions. The switch you have with the central P is rarer and worth £££ in good condition. (also fitted to early 500s into Europe)
