CBX left hand switch block
« on: November 22, 2021, 10:52:53 PM »
A few months ago I bought a new left hand switch block for my 1978 Honda CBX. I finally got around to fitting it. It doesn't have the "Pass" button (which I never use). I'm not a stickler for originality, so I'm not fussed. It also has two "extra" indicator wires. I've seen this before (on my wife's Honda VTR 250). The wires with white stripes are for USA model bikes where the indicators are on all the time. These don't need to be connected. The old switch also had some funky rewiring done for the horn. With this new switch the horn is way louder!

The old block:

 I dug my spare 750 K2 control out of the wiring tote, was thinking of what would be a good use for the extra button (beeper cancel) but the clutch perch threads seem to be broken. Fooey.
