CB550 F2 1977 USA spec
« on: June 11, 2025, 08:16:10 PM »
Seeking a US spec right hand switchgear…the one with start/stop only. I’ve often lauded the benefits of USA spec bikes bought from the right area of the states due to the lack of corrosion. In this instance the internals appear to have de plasticised!!

I could source a replica from DS, but I’d prefer to match the patina of the original finish.

Please let me know if you can help.

The insides fall apart due to aged nylon, the start button has 3 contacts and turns the headlight off before working the starter
