If you want new check Western Hills Honda in OH.  Used check eBay, or post in this forum under the wanted area.  Someone might have a used one.

I replaced the controls on my old F1 with these:



I also replaced the other side with a newer product just to make them look a bit better and, in theory, work better than 30 year old electronics. I can't for the life of me find the starter/cutoff switch anymore. I know they're out there, though.

You'll have to get very friendly with your wiring diagram, though.  ;)

i did not think it would be this difficult to find a set of aftermarket controls . i know someone here has to know where to get what i am looking for . maybe i will try a set off a Harley.

You can use the starter/ cutoff switch from a newer (07) CBR.  We have them on my buddy's Cb500.  It takes a little figuring on the wiring though.

i thanks those of you who replied to this . i was hoping for a simple answer to my question (ie:they have the at blank.com) i guess i am not that lucky . here is what i have planed , i will find a set of new aftermarket controls that fit my 7/8 bars and just rewire the bike . lets face it  , its just power ,ground and a few relays .... should not be too hard. if anyone has a simple wire diagram i could take a peek at let me know ..

You can mount up a set of these.  It will just take a little wiring work.  Should be easy enough.
