Dumb question, I have a 1975 cb400f that did not come with an ignition switch...how does the switch connect to the instrument cluster? Does it screw into the top triple tree or does it screw into the ugly light assembly? Your setup is awesome so I'm curious what you did.

Thanks!

Your shop is literally my dream house.... Did you rebuild the place when you bought it? Was it all run down or what? It looks awesome!

Steve the bike is running great.
Sorry I've been gone a while working on other stuff.
Got an sr500 and a rd400 going at the moment.


I put about 2500 miles on the 400f last summer mostly trouble free
