Will a CB400F left switch fit a CB550F2

(1/2) > >>

wizz:
Hi i want to replace my faded indicator switch on my CB550 F2, have noticed the CB400/f one looks identical but the part numbers are different, does anyone know if i could use a 400/4 one as it looks like these are back in production
cheers

Bryanj:
If the part number is different there will be a difference but dont know what, maybe one has wiring inside the bars and the other outside

matthewmosse:
seem to recall from trying to use a 400/4 loom on a cb550 that some of the wires might be different lengths. Check the functions carefully, dim and dip moved fron right to left bars on some models / years. They look really similar until you try fitting them ::)

wizz:
just been comparing the circit diags & there seems to be some electrical differences - drat i was hoping i could buy and fit a 400 one - looks like you can get them new from DS - i expect it can be done if you knew what you were doing but i don't 

florence:
If the metal parts are the same, can one not just swap the switch parts from one unit to the other?  If you make drawings and notes as you go it should be straightforward enough.  Just proceed slowly and carefully.

I have just looked at mine and it is very faded but I had not heretofore noticed.

P.S. Next time I am in Taunton we should meet and compare notes/bikes.
