Hello. This is my first useful [ I hope ] post for this forum. While I like the idea of rebuilding the old switches and respect the talent it takes to figure out the process, sometimes you buy a bike with stuff missing parts or just not there.
Enter the Judco Switch---- Judco switches are built in America,and for small quantities of switches,you can buy them from Digi-Key.
A starter switch was missing from a CB550, and I found a push button momentary with wire leads at my local electrical supply store. I carefully ground away the switch housing material and enlarged the hole in the handlebar switch a bit and the momentary fit right in there. It was @1.50 at the electrical supply store,so now I have 4 in reserve.
The second switch I plan to buy is a 567-PB and that switch will switch from low to high beams. I realize that your left handlebar switch housing will have a drilled hole in the slide space and a push button instead of a slide switch like the OEM,but space is a consideration as well.
The Judco stuff has a long service life,but you will have to add relays to the high amp draws so as not to exceed the amp rating [2 amps at 14 volts] of these switches
Pictures of the Judco switches are pretty easy to find ,and once you locate the switch you want,there are links right to the dimensional blueprints of the switch. Hope this helps someone.
