CB750 hand controls on Cb350 twin?!
« on: June 07, 2012, 06:23:24 AM »
Hey guys, I took apart my hand controls the other day on my 350 , and lost some of the little springs and what not. I have an extra set of controls from my cb750 f2 ... Will they work with the 350 ?!? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Why don't you just give it a try? You don't have much to lose than a little time -and maybe some little spring if you are not tidy-

Sorry, I'm quite brain-thick lately, I didnt' understand your question.

You said: "I lost some little springs, I wonder wether other switches will work in my bike". I understood: "I lost some little springs, I wonder if the springs from other switches will work". That's why I said "give them a try".

The switches from later models should work, as long as there is "electrical correspondence". Early models had individual bullet connectors, so it is just a matter of identifying what goes where, and do the connections. If later models had block connectors -which saved time at the assembly line- they you must either cut the wires and install bullet connectors, or build an adaptor if you don't want to modify the original switch.

I have used Honda switches in my spanish-made Sanglas, which had block connectors at the headlight nacelle. What I did was to find out the wire correspondence, and solder a connector block. They work just right.
