Ok when I fitted the QA throttle Ireplaced the switch gear.
I was happy with the combined unit on the left (although It didn't have a pass switch & I had to junk the choke cable
I wasn't so happy with the Right switch , looked cheap & nasty
So that got replaced with this I found on fleabay (sorry dont have a fitted pic at the moment)
I've now decided to order these(again from fleabay) as I've found a problem with the combined switch (which may just be my thick fingers) in that switching from main back to dip I inadvertently keep turning the lights off
They look nice Mike - I am having a think about my bars and switches - For now I'm leaving them but in time may change. I am trying to keep a 'production road machine' look but will swap anything that fits in with this theme that works better.
What did you think to a meet up somewhere? - Get this I just looked on Google Earth to try and spot somewhere in between Warrington and Brighouse and went to Pendle -There is something called The Ace Center there!
Acording to their website "The ACE Centre is one of the North West's newest destinations for arts, culture and enterprise in the region. Operated and managed by Pendle Leisure Trust, we aim to provide the very best facilities and leisure opportunities for our local community, and the best in business class services for any functions, corporate events or meetings."
Switches actually arrived yesterday and they are as I suspected exactly the same (down to the way the OEM throttle & choke lever can fit) as the OEM items except they have a chrome finish.
Oh and the wiring includes connectors for the clutch & brake light and obvioulsy the wrong connectors to interface with the bike ;o)
I got the combined switch in your first picture from oo - turns out it was not quite "plug and play".
https://www.ooracing.com/store/index.php?_a=product&product_id=1661 is only £16.00 where as the "all in one" kit they sell with the starter switch (that I don't need as my starter is removed) is £34.99 (https://www.ooracing.com/store/index.php?_a=product&product_id=4605) So I went for the cheaper option.
The switch comes with the 9 pin plug - but the wires are all mixed up.
First fuse blew when I tried just connecting it as is - no luck. After consulting the wiring diagrams and about another 4 blown fuses later I finally got most of it working - lights on/off, low/high beam and indicators... just cant get the horn button to work!!!
On the old plug, horn had two wires LIGHT GREEN and GREEN. On the new switch - there is only one wire for horn (LIGHT GREEN)... this is where my electrical knowledge stops... what do I do with the existing GREEN wire???
Can anyone give me any clues?
mikeyw64's wiring diagram for reference: http://www.aceowners.net/images/AceWiring.png
disconnect blue wire and tape up with electrical tape..(+ve that goes live with ignition on). get a new wire and attach this terminal of horn to chassis ground. attach light green wire from horn to new wire (+ve feed to horn) . it will go beep beep
I have the kit. The single button on mine though is a kill switch. I'm assuming the extra money may go to actually rewiring the thing to match the original Ace wirings.
