Could someone please send me a picture....
« on: December 25, 2009, 11:16:58 AM »
...of a late CB750K3 or a CB750K4 right handlebar switch, of the kind that has the "ON/OFF" for the headlight on that side?
I just need a picture of the outside of the switch, as it is mounted on the bars. I'm trying to show all versions in the Book, but don't have one of these.
(PM me your name and city/state, too, so I can show credit?)
Thanks!

PM sent H'man. As Andy mentioned the one on my K3 is also faded, then realised I have an NOS, so I'll send a pic of both.

i've not ever seen a rear fender like the one on the blue k model before. was that a factory part or something aftermarket? it looks like theres a sizable lip at the end, almost like a harley fender has.

Same as my Police tail section, it's heavy duty plastic.
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!!!!!!!

Are you ever going to need a pic of a 72 left hand with the extra "buzzer" on off button at the bottom of the control ?

I did, but my K2 has one of those.  ;D

Thanks!

There are 5 variants on the right side over the years: the K0-K2 were all the same, the K3-K4 (early) were their own bunch, then the late K4 that lasted until the late K5, then the odd ones in the K6 that are more like the F series bikes, except the wire colors were different from the F. The "5th element" was the early K3, before it had the 2-wire START button, which ran the short-lived 4-wire START solenoid: these were first identifiable by the tab on the RUN-STOP switch pointing toward the rider instead of toward the RUN-STOP letters on top, yet they had a grounding-style START button. Interestingly enough, this became Honda's "universal replacement" switch for all from the K3 back to the K1. (I personally dislike the right-angle switch, as I can hit it accidentally with my rain-riding gloves on (they are pull-over mittens in the glove). I recently bought a 350T switch to get the OEM style pointer tab back from it, and it will go back on during this major rebuild I'm starting shortly.)

The left side wasn't so complicated: there was the K0-K2 style, with the beeper button showing up on the K1 from the "new" factory and on all the K2 bikes. Internally, the parts all interchanged on these switches, and you could remove the beeper button if you wished to stop the noise, but the bottom half changed a little to get that button. The K3 style, with the headlight HI-LO on that side, became the standard version after that, although the wire colors changed two more times in those switches (the headlight power wire, specifically).
