Starter button switch unit ('75 CB200)

[Zooweemama]

I'm sure the switch hasn't changed much (if at all) on many of the CB's in the 70's... I'd go without by I just fucked up my right knee (non-motorcycle related) and starting it off the bike with my left leg is ridiculous, especially when the beast stalls out in traffic for some reason ...

My switch housing got stepped on when I had the handle bar controls apart (it's a little plastic housing with a archaic ball-bearing push-to-make switch. I've been to every electronics hobby store in town and can't find a button that I can both fit through the hole and somehow secure in the control housing.

Thanks

The housing with that switch is pretty much the same for any 70s/80s honda that had a starter (or at least looks the same on the outside, some are metal not plastic). Check ebay for the complete control for any of the 70s/80s bikes, cb200, 350, 360, 400, 450, etc etc. Can probably get the entire housing for like 20 bucks.

Didn't realize so many interchanged - makes sense though. Thanks for the heads up

No problem. Had the same issue when i was looking for the left control for my 450 cus the mirror hole was busted on mine... couldnt find one. Then i realised that its exactly the same for almost every honda, found one for 15 bucks right away, off a 750.
