Handles and head light control
« on: June 11, 2012, 03:14:53 AM »
I have  a Honda CB 750 -k4. I have controls for the headlight on both left and right handles.
Are my handles the right ones for a CB 750 -k4?

I have a 78 and your left is the same as mine but the right on mine has the kill and start only maybe someone with a 74 will chime in something is not looking correct so here is a bump

My K4 only has hi/low lights, horn, and turn signals on the left handles with the right having kill, start, and "Headlight switch".
This Headlight switch turns the lights on and off where i keep it on "off" when starting the bike only.

Those switches are the same as my 77 550F2 Euro model.

EDIT Not the same as mine sorry. My horn switch incorporates a pass switch as well.

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

yes those are correct - Hi/Lo on the left, On/Off on the right.

No, you have hi low on both sides. The right looks like hi low off, as an earlier model. I just looked at my 74 parts bike, it has off - on on the right and hi lo on the left.

Your right controls are the same as my k1. I also have a k4 and as stated before it has a kill switch , start button , and light on off switch. Your left control is the same as my k4 with the high / low switch there. Mine are both North American bikes.
