Topic: Handlebar switches(CB350 content)...

[SClay115]

I'm working on a 72 CB350, drum front and rear. I'm in need of some switches, both sides, for the bars. I don't have any to refinish, so I need to get some new ones. I've been hunting for a fair priced set, and can't find anything. I'm wondering if I can use the switches from another bike. And as it seems, the switches are also the perches for the levers, and the housing for the end of the throttle tube. Am I correct in that measure? But either way, anybody use a different set of bar controls? And what did you end up using? I've seen generic switches, but I think with the switch, then the perch, then the throttle housing, it would be too cluttered. Any thoughts?

David Silver has reasonably priced new ones. Less than crappy ones on ebay and I had them in a week.

If you use ebay check for CB175 switches too, they are ALL the same: CB350Four, even CB750. There are slight cosmetic differences, but they all fit a 22 mm handlebar. Just pay attention to the lighting switch; some of them can only switch between off and on -because the main switch is in the headlight shell) while others have a three-position handlebar switch : off, low and high. In any case you can use any of them; simply rewiring so the headlight shell switch remains unused, or getting rid of the OFF position altogether, as in modern bikes.
