Man that's a hard one, those bits are never removed from the controls so you will probably be up for buying a complete one from wreckers or another member.....best of luck with that one Rick.
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

try this for schematics and a repair manual http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=17788.0 . as far as small parts, honda still carries ALOT of parts for our sohc hondas.

I'd get some more controls from a breakers, or if it's contacts and things just remake them - I had my bike rewired last year and the guy made replacement parts to upgrade all that.. top bloke!

unfortunately a lot of parts are only sold as part of an assy.   you can find your o rings and washers at your favorite mom and pop hardware store.  your cranky motorcycle salvages for odd bracket or whatzit, oil filters and whatnot.  places like manufacturer supply (or something) has fuel line and atv / snowmobile expendibles and some bits that work on bikes.  I think the parts FAQ here is still very useful.
