Left hand handlebar switch

(1/1)

Mike_Berkshire:
Hi, I am trying to source a replacement left handlebar switch for my '76 CB550K US import project bike. David Silver only seem to do the right-hand side unit. I can see there are a number of eBay sellers selling new repro ones, most of which look really rough with blobby red paint dodgy-looking buttons. Can anyone recommend a supplier I could use; I need the wires to be 'in bar' as opposed to external wiring. Im fine with a reproduction unit provided its a decent quality. Many thanks

I bought both sides for £107 from the above seller in April 2023 including postage. Concealed wiring but it was a Faff getting them wired up correctly as instead of the wires being all original colour they were as below.  My left side switch had 8 wires as follows.
Male - Light Blue
Male - Light Grey
Male - Black/Yellow trace
Male - White
Male- Orange
Male Black
Male - Dark Blue
Male - light Green

The right side had a lot of black wires with just a coloured trace instead of the main colours. - only 7 wires but eventually had it all working.
Quality wise I have no real reference point - they work okay - lots of spare wire that I was able to hide in the headlamp bowl.

Get the part number from either cmsnl or the parts book in alladins cave and google the number

FWIW the part number on mine is shown as 35200-377-003 on the e-bay listing.
