Left side handlebar switch question?
deltarider:
Comparing the engine- and framenumber of yours to those listed in the first few pages of the various parts lists will tell you what 'area code' yours is - or at least - was. That's always a good starting point to tell what is still original on your bike and what not.
Bryanj:
Wont work Delta, frame and engine were never mated to start, s Ted knows the whole thing was assembled from parts in my garage

on the original honda switches they stick with the same colour for the same function. Black is a 12v + feed, so on your switch a black would go to horn switch which also includes pass switch, when horn is pushed it sends voltage via light green wire to horn, then horn is earthed via short wire to frame. If pass is pushed its the same black wire via switch then dark blue wire to headlamp. Orange and light blue are left (orange) and right (blue) indicators, these are fed by a grey wire from flasher relay via main loom. White is low beam dark blue is main. Not sure how the power gets to dip switch but either a black or poss a blue and brown as per 500. I make it 9 wires.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Timely reminder Mick I have a list of the Honda wiring colours, very handy at times like this.
mickwinf:
out of interest i looked at an old honda switch of the correct type and most of the wires correspond to the ones I mentioned. There is a black/yellow that supplies current to the dip switch, on the later bikes remember they have the 3 fuse layout, so when the rh headlamp switch is on the power goes via fusebox to lh switch for low hi switch. On the 500 it has the one fuse so you will have to adapt the wiring a bit. one problem i have found is most of the manuals have the US type diagrams which are not the same as often the headlamp is on all the time so no on/off switch.
