78 CB750F ignition Switch swapped for a BMW R80 key switch?
« on: November 25, 2012, 11:40:50 AM »
Anybody ever rewire their key switch to use a BMW switch? I have a spare R80 switch and I need to relocate the stock clamp mount ignition anyway so I thought I would try to use it instead. 6 connectors vs 5 on the honda but it looks pretty straightforward....just wondering if someone tried to do it.

By the way, if you are wondering why someone would want to do it....then obviously you have never seen an old BMW key or headlight mounted ignition switch - what a neat piece of kit.
