69/70 Run - Off Switch.
« on: June 08, 2006, 05:04:32 PM »
Can someone please tell me if Run - Off switch on the top of the right hand control is red or black for the first CB750's?? My '71 is red but I have a "new" single throttle cable control that some nice person has chopped some ends off the wires, the switch is black.
Thanks,
Cliff.

Black for the K0 and red for the K1
The K (K0) is the only switch control with one cable entry for the 750. Honda changed to  a two cable set-up from the K1 onwards
Black ones are very rare and hence expensive in any condition.
