CB750K6 Horn Button

(1/3) > >>

Martin6:
Hi,
I noticed the push in, plastic horn button (which also slides right for headlight flash), was dangling. It had cracked around its tiny attaching screw and I've lost the bottom third.

Does anyone have an old one knocking around? Happy to pay, and postage to Essex.

Alternatively, has anyone got a suggestion on how I might build the bottom back up, so it stays put. It actually looks fine from what you can see, but it could fall off any moment!

Many thanks, Martin

There are 2 parts to that switch, the arm the screw and nut goes into and the actual button. The arm can crack and break and the button can do the same. If you take the screw out you'll see if the arm is damaged, if it is that's a lot more complicated to fix. I fit a stainless steel screw and nut onto the arm, the OE one tends to rust and the slots for the screwdriver round off as a result, trying to get it out is how the arm and button get broken as a rule. Possible I have an arm and a button spare but not certain.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. The arm, the tiny nut and the screw are fine. Just a broken button. Split at the screw hole and part sheared off, leaving it hanging on.

One thing I've noticed, the horn doesn't work.  Never seem to use a horn, so never checked it before. The flasher still works. I've had a look inside and it's all there, with no sign of breakages or unsoldered joints. Will check the headlight tomorrow.

If you do have a button, that would be great! 👍
Thanks
Martin

Need a horn Martin or it will fail the MOT. Although it may not need an MOT these days if stopped it must work and the police will check.

I'll have a look around.
