Handlebar switches

Reproduction handlebar switches.

Just found these on eBay, right hand only in single and twin pull. Don't know what the quality is like but I'll update when mine arrives.

Excellent. You'd be lucky to find a NOS one for under $120 or a used one under $50.

For the left side, I used one of these. Dirt cheap and the quality is surprisingly good. Nice big solid copper contacts inside.

Not quite the same as original but only a rivet counter who needs to get a life would spot it. Only issue is no headlight on-off switch, probably because a lot of countries now mandate headlight on all the time. You'd have to put a separate switch somewhere else if you want to switch the headlight off (as I did).

GTReiner sells both left and right switches.

Well my new switch arrived, one week from Japan, I sometimes wait longer from just down the road. Quality isn't bad, paint is a good match but the casting is a bit lighter than the original. Rocker switch looks good although the starter button is plain, my originals have a couple of raised rings and letters. Overall I'd give it a 9 out of 10, certainly cheaper and easier than restoring one.
