77CB550 5 wire ignition switch looking to converts to earlier switch style

Howdy all,

I'm looking at swapping my OEM ignition switch to the one used up to 1976 as it seems much easier to relocate.

I know the earlier switches were a 4 wire and mine is a 5 wire. Does anyone know how the wiring from 5:4 would work?

Also, and recommendations on a ready made bracket to relocate the switch off of the upper triple tree?

Thanks

I think the CB550 just doubled up on the brown wires. Swapping over to a four wire should be pretty easy. All the wires should match by color.

Excellent; thanks for the insight.

Been wanting to move that OEM switch since the day I bought the bike.
