K6 light controls
« on: May 15, 2022, 07:46:17 AM »
good evening guys
A friend here in Italy bought a 750K6 (it seems to come from New York).
We can't figure out if the handlebar controls are his or have been replaced.
Kindly, can someone put the picture of the original controls?
Thanks
Please,left and right
Thanks

 I don't have a picture handy, but they don't normally have the headlight switch. The earlier model right switch can easily be used to provide headlight control though.

This is what a K6 USA model switch should look like. No headlight switch on them.

This is an aftermarket part picture....

And to compare the K5 aftermarket switch with the head light off-on switch.
