CB550 Lost Ignition - Help Needed
Bryanj:
There is no such thing as a 1979 CB 550K in fact in UK there is not even a 78 model only 77 which could have been registered late due to poor sales.
You can not get from Honda just the bottom part and a lock set, or even just a genuine ignition switch are both megabucks.
You can get a complete pattern switch for about £50.
As i said Emgo used to sell just the electrical part but you would need to find a supplier, in the 70's there were lots but not now
Bryanj:
I am bored at work so two screenshots for you, no idea if you can get in UK or can get shipped from US
Sesman:
I’d try dismantling the original and cleaning the contacts first.
deltarider:
A little off topic: if you want to inspect/clean the killswitch contacts, how do you open it? Can you remove the red cap without breaking it?
Robert W:
Open up the handle bar switch by undoing the 2 screws. From the inside you can access the contacts. Probably have to loosen up the cable lock nuts as one interferes with the screw removal.
