Pattern rhs switch gear - is this incorrect?
andy120t:
I bought this on eBay - seller sent me an offer so it was ten pounds cheaper than normal, so it being Saturday morning/hungover I pressed 'buy'.
Now it's here, it doesn't look anything like my original and crucially it's missing the lights ./p/h switch. Is that correct for any CB550 - or is this just wrong. The seller lists it as compatible for a whole list of 550's - but I assumed they all had te light switch on this side.

Nb...bike is a bitsa, my original switch is missing the starter button and run/stop internals. For this replacement I just want to be able to run wires outside the bars and connect under the tank, but the light switch is needed too.
Aside from that, the casting is pretty rubbish and the but the starter button is in is far deeper and squared than my one. 😞
Oddjob:
Not suitable, send it back.
andy120t:
Yes - it was back in the post within the hour.it looked horrible - if you look in the link you can even see the casting flaw in the top half/right side where the halves meet. Crappy quality...I should have paid more attention.
Has anyone used alternative pattern suppliers that they recommend?
Oddjob:
What are you looking for Andy? What's wrong with the existing switch?
Bryanj:
