Topic: Indicator Lights on '75 CB400f

[dave75]

1975 CB400f.  Just got it several weeks ago and have been implementing repairs.  Got everything in good shape and been taking it on several test rides before I declare if "reliable".

Saturday I was taking it on a short interstate run at 70 mph...... and what to my wondering eyes should appear?  The faceplate that covers the ignition switch that has the indicator lens was flapping in the breeze.  Managed to get the faceplate before it came completeley loose but lost the little red, blue, and amber square lenses.  It appears that the top part of this thing was held completely together with glue.... and 30 yr old glue just couldn't do it.  I had seen the oil pressure and hi beam headlight lens "jiggle" a little before but there didn't seem to be a big deal until now.

Anybody got an old switch assembly that's no good that still has the lenses you would want to part with?  Or I guess I'll have to look around for a new / old switch assembly.

are they the same as a 1978 cb750f? If so, I am Ebaying several things tonight including a busted up gauge cluster set with the indicator lights. check under seller ktp1598

Dave, for info, the warning lights unit is actually totally separate to the switch, so you can replace it without touching the switch untit at all. And yes, they tend to fall apart with age!

I have one from a 76 550 if you are interested. Bought a 4000 mile instrument cluster and only used the gauges.

Dave: Did not realize I have just the face plate and the 5 lenses. There is a 75 400F on ebay and it is the same. Send me $10 and I will pay postage. Glenn
