79 cb750 left switch need help with wiring?
« on: January 31, 2014, 12:03:59 PM »
ok i have a 79 cb750 left switch that i want to use but only the signal and horn ( no lights )

i've attached a pic of the switch to see if you can help me identify where the wires go? I tried to follow the wiring schematic but got lost quick. i removed the headlight wiring since i won't be using them.

tks for your help, lou

colors are ;

a. orange
    orange / white strip

b. blue
   blue / white strip

c. gray = power?

d. brown / white stripe

e. light green = ( horn )?

f. dark green = ??

Going off what I remember from the 650's I have.
The blues and oranges are for the turns I think.
The dark green is the clutch safety switch.
Have to get the diagram to get the rest.

Orange and blues are for turn signals. Blue/orange with stripes running lights. Grey flasher unit. Dark green is ground. Brown/white would be gauge lights.The other green/white and green would be the horn.
I would surmise you don't need the wires in bold.

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

LesterPiglet,

Thank you very much exactly what I was looking for! I'm going to have to get a magnifying glass so I can read those schematics better
