Does anyone have a pic of the innards of a LH control for a cb500. It only houses the blinker and horn switch. Mine came in a Baggie and needs to be reassembled

Those pics are great. So does the ball bearing go inside the spring?

It sits between the ball and the white plastic square. It's what forced the ball into the triangle groove and gives your switch the distinctive click.

I reckon that switch will be rat#$%*, there will be a lot of slack / play in the indicator lever due to the plastic gump being worn. Check this out here, best value you'll get for a newy. http://www.yamiya750.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=123&products_id=1926

Yep, January special, I just bought both L&R, the right side is twice as much but still worth it, and they are tec made. I pulled both of my switches apart, cleaned and lubed but you can't fix the worn parts n mine are both very sloppy in the feel, really glad I saw the special on the new ones.

I paid over $200 for an OEM 40 year old new one - the only difference is it doen't say "turn" on the top and has "made in japan" in raised lettering cast into the bottom
edit- I didn't realize when I bought it but it also doesn't have the high beam flasher in the horn button unlike the correct part for my 500.

wish I needed those switches, great prices...Larry

Nic · « **Reply #11 on:** January 04, 2014, 04:53:41 PM »

Mine doesn't have the "turn" either and also has the hi beam flasher but I figure I can live without the flasher for the price.

Powderman · « **Reply #12 on:** January 04, 2014, 08:38:41 PM »

Can I assume these will work on a CB400f also? That is a pretty good price for new parts.

dave500 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 04, 2014, 09:10:14 PM »

whats shipping from japan like?

Nic · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2014, 09:11:21 PM »

$21au for both for me. EMS so they get here quick too. And they do paypal.

dave500 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 04, 2014, 09:24:10 PM »

be good as spares?rescuing fiddly worn out ones can be satisfying,then it can be a bloody pain aswell.

Nic · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2014, 09:28:08 PM »

Yes mate, it was a real trial of patience when I did my old ones, the looseness of the levers was a big disappointment though, I figure I'll now have the old ones as spares, good for nothing really.

jonda500 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 04, 2014, 10:24:33 PM »

I wonder how hard it would be to convert my new one's horn button to my old ones horn/pass(highbeam) switch... since my handlebars have internal wiring and it would need an extra wire run I think I'm not gonna try that one any time soon!

dave500 · « **Reply #18 on:** January 04, 2014, 10:56:29 PM »

i smell plastic wiring smoke already?

Not unless you do some switch rewiring....Larry

robdrobd · « **Reply #21 on:** January 05, 2014, 06:23:20 AM »

What if I just epoxied the little white knob to fill in the spots where it was worn down? Won't that bring back the "click"?

Nothing like new controls. If I had a 500, I'd buy em....

Going to try to fix this nubbin before I give up.
