I want to find something race like,wiring exposed, but functional left and right switches. Have searched and found nothing I like. On the left side need hi/lo , turn and horn , on the right just a start and a kill sw.Want to use a pull only throttle assy.May even use a lanyard type kill, as on PWC's. Planning on a major rewire anyway adding re-located ignition switch on my K8 .Also will be using later mod. master cyl. Any one seen any quality stuff out there ?
Thanks,
g
Found this bike in completely stock condition in Feb. 08. Paid over twice what my new one cost 30 years ago. Am trying to re-create the look of the late 70's Drag Bike styling.More later. 4-2-10 It ain't stock any more and I have no idea what I am trying to create !

I replaced my stock switchs with K & S switchs that I got the guys at Z1 to order for me. They thought they might carry a small stock, but I dont know if they have. I put a 5 way switch on the left, and put a start button on the right since since my pro motion push/pull  for my CR's  shortens up that area. It works great. Leads are pleanty long and is simple to instal.

I used this switch on my 750 F1 cafe. Th stock switches were toast, but I wanted something more modern, anyway.

I got it from this site:
http://www.shop.bevelheaven.com/
If you look at Electrics, battery, ignition, page three, about half way down are the switches. They also have a stand alone engine cut off switch.

On that same bike I went with an after market engine cut off/starter switch as well (switch was separate from throttle housing). It took me forever and day to find one (odd for such a simple thing) and I have not been able to find one again. I was going to do the same thing for my current project, but the stock switches all turned out to be okay, so I just went with them (less creative wiring...).



The thottle I got from motion pro.
