400/4 build. Paused due to other commitments. But starting up again
Sesman:
Mine un looks like this….
Oddjob:
Seems they changed to the integrated brake light switch around 1978. It's under the reservoir.
ComfySofa:
Ah - right - so, i probably cant see it in the pics but a couple of spade connectors then?
Another question....is there anyone on here thats done a Motogadget conversion on here and if so - do they have any pics of the installation?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I found this article interesting as it seems to suggest that it's more complicated so not for everyone.

Oddjob:
Sesman (Phil) seems to have used a pre 1978 MC which doesn't have the switch, I presume he's still using the brake switch on the joint on the bottom yoke?
The later version which has the switch has a clear/opaque reservoir and isn't that easy to find, I looked yesterday on Ebay. It was fitted to the GL1000K3 and is part number 45500-431-611. https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-gl1000k3_model50510/cyln-frmaster_45500431611/
Also seems to have been fitted to the CX500, that's a common bike and may make it easier to find.
Just found a couple on Ebay, seems it hasn't got the clear reservoir, looks like your current one except it does have the switch you need. Example ONLY.

Roo is going to the states later this week, maybe he can have a look in the scrapyard for you. All you need is a round top MC with a brake switch.
