Is this a k0 Switch??
« on: February 09, 2009, 11:20:28 AM »
This was in a box of parts I bought, I don't have a K0 switch to compare the wiring too.  It looks like it uses a single throttle cable like a k0 would.  Any info would be appreciated!

Yes, it looks just like my KO switch with the black kill switch.  How much you want for it???  PM sent.

It's a K0 alright. I'll give you $12.95 for it   ;)  What else you got in that box of bits??

Rare as rocking horse sh!t, that. Similar to the K2 kill switch if not the same. Been looking for one for over a year.

Check to see if the handlebar size of it is for the larger diameter 750 handlebars. The CB350 had identical switches at the time, except they fit smaller diameter handlebars.

Most KILL switches on the 750 are red.

To repair my own over the years, I have occasionally bought 350 switches and moved the parts into my housings. They are often the same parts!

I would bet it is a 750 piece, since it doesn't have the mounting lug/pivot for the cable front brakes.  The 350s and 450s, which also shared the black kill-switch in the 69/70 era, had cable brakes I believe.
