sleek and high-quality Levers, master cylinder, controls?

I'd like to make everything on my CB400F cleaner looking.
New throttle, levers, front brake master cylinder and all the knobs/switches.
I only need switches for turn signals and I don't need levers with mirror mounting because I've got bar end mirrors.
I'm not sure where to start so can anybody point me in the right direction for after market parts or post pics so I can get ideas?
 
Check a bike salvage place, there's gotta be something laying around with clean controls on it that you can snag for a couple bucks. Do a little custom wiring with your switches and you'd be golden, I would think.
 
Check the online brit bike part suppliers. they have reproduction switches for the old bikes at very resonable prices.

Oh, I just remembered a place, wiringproducts.com. they carry every kind of switch you can think of, check out their marine and military grade line. Also shops that supply racing fabricators.

I got a TriCon from a brit bike place and I love it!!! does what i want and really cleaned up the left side of the bars.

Yeah, I was going to go with a Tri-con, but I needed more switches (I only wanted one set of controls). I can't recall - do the Tricon switches actually do signal lights? I didn't think they did.

I dug around in my box of parts and found a nice compact Yamaha switch unit that does my hi/lo beam, kill switch, horn and signal lights, all in one compact unit on the left side. Nothing but throttle on the right, and then Tommaselli Matador style levers for brakes and clutch.

How are you getting away with just turn signal switches? I'm working under the assumption that I need my horn and kill switch within easy reach of my thumb.



 
Well right now I have the stock controls and everything works except the started button. I removed the starter so it doesn't need to. What I want to do is hide the key, leave one switch for the kill and maybe one small switch on each side for turn signals. I just put clip-on on yesterday the stock master cylinder doesn't slide on far enough becuase it hit the clip-on clamp. I'll check into those levers. I was looking around at racing throttles too.
 
I am having the same problem with my master cylinder fitting on clip ons, have you found a solution yet?? Do you know of any smaller aftermarket Masters?
 
For a new master cylinder you can look on ebay for a gsxr, cbr, r6 or any newer sport bike master cylinder that would work. Also check your local salvage. I've also seen them online at Dime city.
 
Do you consider yourself independently wealthy? Durbahn Makes some cool switches.


Waterproof, anodized, CNC machined, custom. It's what a lot of GP teams use if you believe the site.
