Topic: 1975 400F. The third one I've rebuilt. This one's red. Question inside.

Does anyone have an alternative to the crappy plastic starter switch that disintegrates in the 75's?
My parts source has lots of broken switches so replacement is a bust without ebay.  I'd like it to be stock but certainly a bit more reliable.  I'm sure there is a genius here who has done it.

Are you talking about he start button on the right hand control?  Many people wire up a momentary like this one

My 75 has one like this talented from the PO.  $8 vs $90+ for new control.

The replacement is about $100, what I use to keep the bike as stock as possible...Larry

I don't think I can find the "vomiting" smily.  A momentary switch is what could replace it but I can't bring myself to do that. 
There is another way to keep it stock without using the exploding plastic switch.  I may have to do some fabrication.  I was hoping someone here already took the time to make one and could send me a picture.  Idea factory, so to speak.
